I thought the rev limiter told you when to change gear?

No, the rev limiter just prevents you from destroying your engine if you aren't paying attention to how fast you're spinning it.
If you wait until you hit the limiter before you shift, you lose your drive and waste time. You may also be in a range where the engine isn't making useful power. Both of these things mean that someone is likely to pass you on the track.
You know this, right? Just being funny weren't you?

I was fully aware of those points, the comment was for comic effect.

I believe peak power around 9k. If you're getting anywhere near the rev limiter, you're not in the powerband.

You can use a bucket to catch the pistons if you disable the limmiter:riding:
