[QUOTE="CaptainObvious, post: 740295, member: 17060"] You have to change your way of thinking. There are two things that primarily determine the red line on a four stroke, piston speed and valve float. Two strokes don't turn nearly the rpm's of a four stroke and, we don't have valves, so a traditional red line that you are use to doesn't apply. There is a practical red line for a two stroke however. When the ports do not have enough time to complete a combustion cycle you are at the power limit of the engine. The engine can exceed this limit in rpm, but power drops off dramatically. Some call this over rev. There is little to gain in this part of the powerband because of diminishing returns. [/QUOTE]
