Fixed gear non gearbox karts (125 & 100cc) have a operating rpm of 16-22,000 rpm.

2 Stroke Rev Limits
« Reply #16 on: January 27, 2013, 10:19:24 PM »
Ok so i was wondering exactly how far can you rev your 2 stroke, i know they dont have rev limiters as such, to what point can you keep the throttle on full before you need to change up a gear?

I find i probably change gear way to early cos im conscious of blowing the engine (if thts possible), just after its been in the powerband for a few seconds, i know this is not right as when you listen to pros riding two strokes they maintain that really high revving sound, and you cant even really tell when they have changed gear, its like a continious noise.

So at what point do you all change gear, ive heard of people saying a technically sound engine can rev up to 20,000 rpm. what are your thoughts?

36,000 rpm is no problems. all depends on the bore and stroke of the engine to get your rpm ceiling
