Just curious if anyone could tell me what I might have going on with my wheeler. Got done plowing tonight and ran down the steet (200') in Low range. When I hit about 6200 RPM's it started running rough, it idles fine but when I run the RPM's up right about at the 6200 mark it starts to get rough again. Does anyone know is there a ref limit on these machines or did I mess something up?

Thanks

 

it is the rev limiter kicking in. nothing to worry about

 

spd800, what do you think is the max rpm on your 800 is? 6200 in low is pushing it alittle.

 

Yeah, that was the rev limiter but, like jdaddy said....I wouldn't make a habit of visiting that rev limiter too much.

 

you know i have never hit the limiter on mine yet and ive been to 6200 r's. i was thinking it was 6400 but i could be wrong.

 

I was pushing 5400 the other day on my 800 and i thought that was high I had no idea that the red line was over 6000 rpm.
There is a rev limeter for sure i don't want to blow any thing?

 

thats why it has a built in rev limiter. give an idear i found out early about limiters. one of my very good friends is a motorcycle tec. and when i bought my zx-6 years ago we talking about red lines so he walks up and twist the throttle at 14,000 rmps and it sits there and bounces off the limited i almost flipped to i found out its designed to stop it from hurting the engine.

 

Thanks everyone for the replies, I talked to a few local shops and they said the same thing, and no I won't be pushing it that far again but it's nice to know I didn't screw something up.

 

Yeah, that is one down fall with the PVT, but take afew seconds and change gears if you need to go alittle faster. I find myself having to stop sometimes in the trails to change gears. My quad is heavier than all of yours[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] so I will stop as many times as I need throughout the trails, those belts are $85. If the fella behind me doesn't like it, he can go around, If I let him![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
