my limiter is at 13k (one of them strange k3's)
and my bike pulls up to 9.5k so thinking along those lines will leav the first shift light at 9.5 and up the other to 11k to show where the red line is as i cant tell at the moment.

on a stock bike yes, but with mine the way it is now, its about 9.5k where it seems to drops off
