Really felt the Soft Rev limitation this weekend
Went riding this weekend and on the open road I hit arond 70mph in first gear, but as soon as the RPM hit the red I felt the jerk of the soft rev limiter kicking in. I never really tested this before and it's definitely a surprise when not expecting it.

Not sure if I should just mod the soft rev or leave it as-is.

Same here. I left it on a couple years because I'm middle age and don't know how to ride. Then I took it off and yeehaw, there's horsepower up there you notice.
