hmm
mine is completely stock
only had the last muffler removed (kinda like dumped at the diff) because it fell off when the rust was getting cut out of the boot

ive had my 7000, but i wouldnt do it again, it started making weird sounds haha
i usually limit it to around 6, 6 and 1/2

thanks for the replies.

I had a mild cam, modified carby and the rear hotdog removed and it would struggle to get to 6,300rpm, but it did get to about 6,800rpm when the accelerator got stuck on the floor, although this resulted in the engine shitting itself.

I have no idea I pulled it off the floor before checking the carby for why it got stuck.

i am pretty sure that in a stock tg 1600 engine the power band ends at 5500rpm.
