Does the Hyosung GT125R ’10 have a rev limiter? I’ve revved it to 13k and got scared. 😐
10,000 rpm is more than enough as there is no power after 11k rpm.
Valves Start floating & crank gets more rapid wear if bike is always at 11k + rpm , so to keep her healthy 10k max is good.
We rarely need to go beyond 10k , even people on 650s here in UK.
A vtwin makes peak power lower revs but Gt125 will peak at 10k.but yes there No rev limiter.

I usually do not exceed 10,500 rpm. I find it strange that Hyosung decided not to include a rev limiter, as the CDI changes the pre-ignition depending on the RPM range, correct? Is this common in motorcycles?

They did make the ignition of the early 250cc models retard a little bit but it was more like emissions control or something but the power was the same for the most part. So Hyosung knows their engines can rev to 13k even the 650 can go beyond 12k but the engine will let the rider know it won’t like it and no more power is made after 11k max usually depending on CC of the bike. So the electronics did not matter too much on a 125cc , it was limited by its engine , other restrictions were for EU laws like emissions (leaner jets , snorkel intake for noise and minor restriction , exhaust is more restrictive on 125cc pipes than 250 but using OEM pipes and a full size legal can like “Lextek OP1” here in UK is legal and makes nice noise but needs carbs to be upjetted)
CDI isn’t restricted. It does not need to be on a carb model
