deankenny Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 so i was flicking through the little comp thing, where you can do lap timers, have your speed, temp etc and came across a option where it says RPM and you can select different numbers, of course i know what RPM means, but what does this actually do?

spursmaddave Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 You can set when the light comes on for the rev counter i believe, never played with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizurd Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I might be wrong but I thought it sets the point at which the rev limiter light would flash? but doesn't actually change the mechanical rev limiter. someone who knows more will be able to confirm or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-350 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Yea, just when the light comes on telling you to shift gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Yes its to set the shift light..mine set at 6000 RPM..should go to 7500 RPM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deankenny Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 ah great thanks guys, i thought it was flashing too early, now i know why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisS Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 As others have said, you choose when the red light flashes. I does not change anything else. Most set it to either most torque or where they want to bottle it and change up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ph 7 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I use mine as a reminder to change into 6th on the motorway. I set it so that it starts to flash when I'm at 70 in 5th gear. I just ignore it the rest of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Unbelievably, it's in the user manual and even gives suggested settings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Mcgoo Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I set mine to 6700 (DE) when it flashes gives me just enough time to change gear before I hit the limiter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I set mine to 6700 (DE) when it flashes gives me just enough time to change gear before I hit the limiter. Theres a limit ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 One of the few gadgets I've actually used. I set it at 4k for the first 1,000 miles when I was running her in then upped it to 5k and left it there. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke0549 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Mines set to 2000! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsniss350z Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Is it just me, but i find that tiny little light a right pain in the ass as its far too small to be seen in my peripheral vision. The only time i see it is when its dark and my dash lights are dimmed. I'm sure i've seen a link somewhere about how to fit a larger/brighter shift light. Or maybe i should start wearing spectacles with Coke bottle bottom lenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louisa911 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) Ah! First and only time I've ever noticed that number on the computer and considered it, had initially thought it was a 'maximum rev on that trip' counter type of thing! That explains that.

14N Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I've never seen mine flash yet. Am I too mechanically sympathetic towards my engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbitstew Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 You can set when the light comes on for the rev counter i believe, never played with it +1, i set mine for 7500 and left it. Havent touched it since! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I've never seen mine flash yet. Am I too mechanically sympathetic towards my engine? Yes. They sound pretty good banging off the limiter too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) On my first drive in the zed I was playing with this, to figure out what it did. When it cycled down to the minimum value the red light flashed like crazy on the dash and I fully bricked it! Thought I'd bust the zed after 5 minutes!

Guest Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Mines set at 5600, perhaps a tad gentle, maybe I should be a bit more adventurous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy78 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Mines set at 6600 and I rarely see it tbh... But after 1st gear you're pretty much breaking any speed limit if you see it flashing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
