5500 Rev Limit?
I bought my FatBob a few months ago. Actually it is my wife's bike. When I rode this bike it always seemed a little quicker than my Triumph TBird. However, sometimes, we race a little when taking off from a light. She swears that my bike is faster. So the other day, I took her bike out and found that the rev limiter is set at 5500 rpm. We bought this bike barely used, it was a rental. Did they set the limiter low? Maybe to keep people from abusing the bike when it was rented? or is that the normal limit.?

Stage one raises your rev limiter to 6200. I never approach that without shifting first.

Like the others said, there's nothing past 5500 with the stock motor, if you're hitting the limiter, shift earlier.
As far as valve float, I used to turn my old 95" to 6500+ regularly with stock springs and never had any float. New bagger se tuner stage 1 maps are at 6400 right from harley, don't know why.
