When the engine overheats.
On the curvy models, there is no temp gauge - just a little red led.
There's no over-rev indicator - the cut out just cuts ignition.

Yep! The light shows overheat.

It's not a problem hitting the rev limiter. I did it twice yesterday on purpose. Comes in about 11k rpm. It is quite soft. It doesn't cut all the power, but you know when you've hit it.
