Define old LOL. I'm in my late 20s and I got to see the majority of speed racer. That movie holds a special place in my heart, too. It never fails to get me excited.
Definitely not a bad idea, especially if you're still under warranty. I know the clutch isn't covered but there is the chance it's a defect causing it. At the least you'll get a ecu flash.
Interesting. However, the revs do come down dramatically after the short high revs. I went out again this morning and opened it up, shifted from 5th to 6th, clean shift, as soon as I released the clutch pedal the revs fell quickly as if the air or fuel was somewhat temporarily cut off. But, this occurs sometimes and the other times the revs spike as if something was stuck. What’s strange is under normal easy driving, lol, this never occurs. I am taking her to Steeda in a couple of weeks to get the 2018 IM, tune, new shifter, so I will ask them what they think.
......old enough to have seen it in first run on US television. 1967 or so. From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_Racer "The English rights to Mach GoGoGo were acquired by syndicator Trans-Lux (which originally was, and still exists as, an electronics manufacturer), and Speed Racer premiered on American television in the fall of 1967."
I e heard this too, I think it kicks in around 130, maybe less. This could be the reason for the rpm drop, thanks.
