Over reved downshift
screwed up majority a couple months ago. I was accelerating hard in second gear, and went to shift to third but foot slipped going for the shifter and I accidentally went into first. It went over redline, and as soon as I realized it I immediately pulled the clutch in. It was only at that rpm for under a second. It’s been about 800 miles since then. Runs just fine. No noises or other issues. Obviously I’ll never do this again, but anything I need to worry about? 2018 m8 road glide.

Don’t think the rev limiter would stop it since the rear wheel is driving the engine speed. Caught a quick glimps of the tach and it was over the redline. But only for a split second. Hopefully it only damaged my ego. Bike has ridden just like normal since then.

That thing is toast and could grenade on you at any second. I'll give you $10k for it to put your mind at rest. Even if it doesn't grenade the first time a dealer plugs in their diagnostic tool it will upload a warning to the MOCO to instantly void your warranty.
