883r performance
My 883r with short shots and quiet baffles ride fine in low revs but it's a different animal when revved hard.
Are these normally an engine that like to be rev'ed hard it's seems very cammie
Is this the norm

It's a Sportster! They love a few revs and to be given their head, relative to the big twins.
I visited my favourite dealer a while ago (Black Bear at Newmarket) and overheard a couple talking to each other - he rode in on a Road King, she on a Sporty. He told her off for not riding 'properly', because when overtaking a car she had changed down a gear to accelerate (sensible lady), rather than riding in top gear, like she should - in his stoopid opinion. I had to bite my tongue!
Ride yours according to how it tells you to, it'll be quite happy being ridden up to the red line often.
