Question Downshift Question

Yesterday during a downshift I thought I saw the entire ring of the speedo cluster light up briefly.. I have been unable to duplicate this, and find nothing in the manual about it. Was I hallucnating??

Were you on M mode? If so then you hit the rev limiter.

The cluster turns red when you hit the rev limiter.
