As for broken engines maybe not so much over reving but those fitting programable ECUs like the Nemesis have to watch how much Advance is programmed in at closed throttle and High Revs, the area used when blipping the throttle on down changes, this has a tendancy to break engines

Hi Kev,

Interesting about the programable ECU's, I'll be sure to raise that point with whoever sets the bike up.

I'll give Martin a call on Monday.

Cheers
