Well I know for a fact it was 5500 RPM at some point in its life, I just don't remember when - I don't know much about the CTR.

My friend checked the stock .bin files of the CTR (2 different ones) and they both came back showing 5875.

Now at the rate that Honda tachs' accuracy deteriorates, it's most likely the case that at 5875, your tach is reading 6400, though in actuality, I don't think it's 6400, that seems kind of high, even for a CTR.

Honda tachs aren't accurate, you can't base VTEC engagement off of them, at 4800 (VTEC engagement of an EX), your typical EX tachometer reads 5400/5500, check the tach against an OBD-II scanner sometime, you'll be amazed that you've been reading your tach readings off of that for so long.

Unfortunately the only other alternative is A) A shift light, or B) A rice bowl.

EDIT:
On my old '95 EX with a 7200 RPM redline pinning it to the rev limiter (about 7400) the tach appeared to be hitting 8400-8500. There was just a guy on here yesterday asking why his D16Y7 (stock) was rev limiting out at ~7500 RPM when the actual fuel cut is 7k? - 6800 redline.

CTR PCT = 5875rpm crossover
ITR P72 = 4875rpm crossover IAB = 5750rpm
6400... No!

I kinda made since of that.

Tach's have been known for being way off.

Not 100% sure but I think cam timing can jack up the tech as well.

P72 is the code for a B18C1 GSR, which would explain the secondaries(IAB).

ITR is a P73.

True, but irrelevant. The CTR is what the OP inquired about.

The answer was already given. I was correcting mis-information.
