RPM crusing

The part of your post that I quoted above makes me wonder if the tachometer is reading 1000 rpm higher than the engine is actually turning.

understand, no I haven’t.

but when I tune in idle I get on 2200-2300, so maybe that is an indication?

I think there is two parallel thing her.

1. RPM properly showing to much.

2. From listen on the engine sound when crusing in 80-90km/h I feel it should have been 1000 lower… I quite often need to verify I’m in 4th gear and have one more gear

The stock gearing for your bike is 13/33 for a 2.54 ratio running a 630 chain.

I assume your bike is converted to 530 chain?

Assuming yes, that suggests a 16/40 or 41 sprocket configuration.  Since your bike is running a 42 rear sprocket, that means your gearing is lower.

Since you have an 810 kit, with much more torque than stock, you can easily run taller gearing. A 17T front is the easiest change, assuming you have clearance.  A double change, including the rear sprocket, is another option.  I'd try the 17 front first though.
