650/X-2 650 rev limiter on 750 help

[x2canaan]

Im concerned about the engine im using it uses the 650 flywheel and electronics and i was running it and i expected the engine to hit the limiter but it sounds like its going over 7k is this normal? and what should i watch out for.
Thanks

only the 1986 x2 came with a cdi with no rev limiter. the cdi will be a 3 wire instead of a 4 wire like the rest. I wouldn't worry about not having a rev limit. you aint never going to hit the rev limiter anyway under a load.

Mine runs at 7200 RPM and I am not impressed. Xmetal told me the 750 likes to run closer to 7800 rpm. That was a little concerning to me but I absolutely can not get it tuned right with the prop I have. Going down a pitch will raise the RPM. I haven't had time so my X2 has been sitting unused and untuned for a while so I can't comment on the higher than 7200 rpm. I just know it was a slug with the prop and I actually lost speed.

Thanks you guys for the help!

The standard Kawasaki 650 rev limiter hits at 8000rpm
