I don't know if anyone else had a laugh or not.


I was being a good new bike owner and reading my manual.


anyway I get to the section on running in my new motor and it states that I have to keep the motor under 5000 rpm for the first 80 km.


now I would love to know how they are expecting me to do that, I think they forgot to put a tacho on my bike.

I said the same thing, rule of thumb to keep RPMS low, jsut shift about every 5MPH

Old post, but I bought a Street 750 in 2019 and you have a gear/tachometer screen on the speedometer. If you press on the small selection button..

The tacho is only available on 2018 onwards

The tacho is only available on 2018 onwards

2017 I bought my XG in 2017 and it is equipped with gear/RPM display

BTW this is also the first model year when ABS was present (mandatory in UE and optional on other markets) . Braided brake lines were introduced year before so I assume that after two years on the market in 2017 the bike finally was not a prototype but a good product

Lol, I stand corrected. My dealer advised me it was 2018 - why am I not surprised at his lack of knowledge. He even told me it had a 5 speed box and wasn't sure if it had an imobiliser !
