      It can be found as shown in this video. I had the 2010 model. I now own the 1.8 Executive and it's the same. As for when it kicks in, it's at the top of the rpm range. You really need to push through the revs till it hits the limiter. Such a fun thing to do! 👌🏼😃👍🏼

I still have my shift i shift lights to be fitted but couldn't find a rpm pulse to use it. If you have any of your bros who could point me in the direction of this would be well pleased. And yep tried adjusting my seat and wheel but didn't feel comfortable at all bringing the steering wheel closer doesn't feel relaxed and moving the steering wheel downwards hits my knee. Keep up the videos :)
