Do our Raiders have a short rev limiter?

(Please forgive my mechanical ignorance if this is an obvious question)

I only have about 110 miles on mine and it seems the power cuts out fairly early in first and second gear. Maybe I am hitting a rev limiter and don't realize it since these stock pipes are so quite and the bike is so freaking smooth. Since I am still in the break in period I am really trying not to get on it too much but I still hit this point of power loss every once in a while. Maybe I am just use to my old VTX1300 which ran rough and had supper loud pipes in which I could really get a feel and hear my RPM range.

I'm no mechanical genius either, but I haven't had this problem with my Raider. I only have 450 miles on mine. I would call the dealer and ask the so called shop pros. You may have a problem.

It should be set for aout 5100 rpm. If it is kicking in below that, see your dealer.
