Exclamation Cruizin RPM

Hey everybody I'm new to this forum and I'm a new rider so bare with me lol I have a 1990 Yamaha FZR600 with a race sproket on the back. I didn't put it on, it was a previous owner but anyway around 100km/h (60mi/h) it's revving around 5000 and I donno that just seems pretty high to me but again I'm new and I don't know what do you guys think?

That's very high. Obviously the sprocket was put on for stunting. I'd get back to stock or close to it.

Is that a 2 cyl. or 4? I'm guessing 4.
What's red line?

Last bike I had was a Kaw ZL600 (4). Red line was 11K. IIRC, it turned 4.5K at 60 so............what you are seeing isn't that high (if you've got a high-reving 4).

You should have really good acceleration from 60 to 100 mph or so!

What's the condition of the chain? Think I'd put it back to stock but I'm old and slow.
