Keep in mind (after the break-in period, of course), when you are cranking UP the gears, the rev limiter will keep you from over-revving the engine. However, when you are down shifting ..... it's not going to save you. So, be sure not to mis-shift (like coming down from 6th and hitting 3rd instead of 5th). At high speeds, some call that a "money shift" .....

Enjoy your new machine!
