I don't believe the RPM's increase much at all, it's just the final bit of the clutch that allows the increased speed. If I give'er it'll jump to about 5200 rpm and HAUL A$$, at 98 kph it was only doing approx 5600 rpm. Oil level never changed and filter remained clean, it's all good. But, thank you for the feedback and info. I've been hot roddin for most of my life and I understand what you're sayin. Good info.
