Hi guys two questions for you.

First one - To those of you on a restricted SV, I think this will only be relevant to the ones restricted by ECU, when you are trying to go fast, or overtake something, at what revs do you normally shift at.
I'm wondering because I'm sure my bike feels faster in the lower revs than the higher revs, so I don't normally do more than 6 or 7k.
I think this might be because the bike is restricted to 33hp, and hp = torque x revs so the higher the revs, the less torque you have.

Second one - I noticed my temperature today was jumping all over the place every two or three seconds it would jump by a few degrees as in 89, 87, 84, 81, 80, 81, 86, 90 And then back down again. Is this normal?

Thanks.
