This is a dumb question, but I'm new to riding a bike with a CVT.

What are your tachs reading at a steady 40-50mph indicated?

Anyone?

I'm indicating somewhere between 4500-5000rpm on mine when I'm going 40-50mph. Is that normal? High? Low?

That looks spot on. I was cruising at 50mph yesterday for a long stretch and noticed that I was at 5,000rpm's.

Just an FYI, with a CVT, that constantly variable part is going to play a huge part in the tach/speedo readings. Rider weight, road grade, modifications, etc will all throw off the readings one bike to the next.

I checked mine to see and I weigh 210 and when the speedo says 50 tach says about 6200-6300 on level ground at sea level (or there abouts). No mod's bone stock...sounds like your right cage.
