Thanks! Was it under similar test conditions? 3/4 revs at 1/2 metre from the exhaust?
I've never been to CC but at the tracks I visited they measure approx. one metre from the exhaust pipe, 5500rpm...

3/4 revs is going to be 10,000rpm!!!

That's just fking ridiculous... not to mention mechanical strain on the bike.

That won't cause it any problems, especially when it's not under load. My trackbike has spent most of its life at or above those revs and that's under load!
