[QUOTE="podfish, post: 1360391, member: 77606"] I'd hate to test whether you could damage it by over-revving. I've never melted an engine by over-revving but I bet I could if I tried! But the previous point "it's a two-stroke" applies here. You don't need a tach as long as you have somewhat functional ears, and have some experience on the bike. Learn the point where, after you change gears it's pulling as strong or stronger than it was in the lower gear. Remember that sound. If you shift too soon, you'll be able to tell that it's got less power than it did before you shifted. So wait a bit longer next time... I've also noticed that people who've learned to shift in a car are often afraid to slip the clutch on a dirt bike. The clutch is a valuable control! You use the throttle to control the power available from the engine, the gears to get a reasonably close match with the speed you're going, and the clutch when that match isn't quite right. [/QUOTE]
