Engine Rpm Indication - Ducati Supersport 950 Owner's Manual

Engine rpm indication

The engine rpm is displayed using a rev counter
featuring a grey wake (A).
During the first 1000 km (600 mi) of the odometer
(vehicle running-in period), or up to the first service,
a virtual engine rpm limiter is set and is indicated
when the wake becomes amber yellow.
After the break-in period or after the first inspection,
the virtual limiter indicates and advises the rider to
ride at lower revs when the engine is cold. The virtual
limiter threshold changes according to engine
temperature: if the engine temperature is below
50 °C (122 °F), the rpm threshold is 7000 rpm.
When the wake becomes amber yellow and starts
blinking, the instrument panel is warning the rider to
shift up.
The wake becomes flashing red when the rev limiter
trips: in this case the rev limiter (page 100) turns on,
too.
If the number of rpm is lower than 1,000 rpm, the
wake is not displayed.

Attention
Your motorcycle is equipped with a rev limiter
which limits the engine speed to approximately
3000 rpm when the engine is in neutral with the
clutch released. This is to prevent excessive noise
pollution and also to avoid reaching engine speeds
that are harmful to the engine without load.
When this limiter comes into operation the revs will
be limited and there will be a flashing Overrev
indication on the instrument panel. When the clutch
is pulled, this function is not active.
