Does anybody know if the rev limiter is activated by engine rpm or tire speed when quad is in reverse ????

Engine speed I would imagine. But both are relative, more engine speed equals more wheel speed. Or in your case track speed [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

rpm, i think, i could tell when i was buried in a snowbank plowing today wheels wouldnt engage right away till the rpms came up with the overide pushed....btw i hate that stupid button.

 

You would think so. Situation was that I was in 15" of snow, put it in reverse, started backing slowly, tracks weren't spinning, rpm was 15 to 20% throttle, rev limiter kicked in. Didn't have over ride button pushed.

I guess my concern is, was the belt slipping in reverse (seems ok in F) or did the rev limiter sense the slightly higher than normal engine speed than you would use in reverse??

Man is it snowing here! 15" today and maybe double that by midnight.

 

i dont think belt was slipping..might wanna reverse the override i think there are kits for it.

 

Thanks for the input guys. I was probably just paranoid while I was 20 mi back in the bush, lots of snow, and alone. I know, STUPID ME!
