I'm not sure about the details of his specific transmission. If it's an electronic CVT with 6 "speed" settings, that would definitely change it. I somehow doubt this is the case, but it's wholly possible.
I'd need to know more about his specific setup to know for sure why that happened.
The other option is that potentially higher load gave a false reading on the tach by 100 RPM, or that lower load is giving a reading 100RPM lower. Without a calibrated gauge, 100 RPM is sneezable.

Thats what i was thinking, its not a CVT type...

^Just learned allot myself...
EDIT: would like to know where the 2.0l 160hp engine was an option... or better a diesel. lol
And the state of my current Tach on the bike is well ...less than desirable
I still need to do allot of rewiring, and replacing cables and such, maybe just find a digital read-out and rig it in some way.
