I was just assuming that 1st puts the most stress because it has to overcome momentum from a dead stop. You know how when someone needs a push start, and a bunch of guys start pusing on the car until it starts moving? Well, it's hard as hell to get it moving, but once it's moving, it's pretty damn easy.

wot in 1st is asking for a 12o'clock on my bike

WOT and low load redline are complete opposites you can low load redline any bike in 1st without fear of a wheelie....takes what seems to be forever to get there, bcause you're cracking the throttle just above idle to GET there, but it's how I've seen a few engines "broke in" after rebuild...especially 2-strokes
