7000 High
6500 Mid
6000 Low

I thought these were the factory defaults? My owners manual depicts a different LCD setup, which doesn't appear to have the facility to adjust the shift lights?

On the Track day I shifted on the green and that seemed fine as it went to around 6500.

The main point of adjustable shift lights, apart from looking cool, is to tell you when you are approaching peak power and/or the rev limit.

As you can see from my dyno graph below my peak power kicks in about 6800rpm hence I have my red light set at that. I also personally don't like over reving an engine unless absolutley necessarily. The rev limit of the variants of the speed 6 has been debated on here before, my personal view on that's goes on my dyno chart. My hard limiter also kicks in about 7300rpm ish.

Anyone else had recent Speed 6 SRR charts better than this?? smile
