    Max RPMs question

    I have a 2003 Xr6 150 carbed motor. It is not an Opti engine. I looked at a couple of places online trying to find what the max RPMs are and cant seem to find a definitive answer. I see a few charts for the Opti but not a regular 150. Can anyone tell me what the max RPMs are and or where to find that info?
    Thanks

    The max RPM is listed on the serial number tag on the transom bracket of the outboard.

    Mine is a 2004 150L XR6 (manufactured in August 2003) Max RPM 5600.
