I have a sp700 that shuts down around 40-45 mph like rev limiter may be engaged. any suggestions?

 

I can't say I have heard anything like this before. Could you give me a little more description of what is going on.

I had this problem with my 700 and it turned out to be in the clutch. Inside the front clutch there is a small plastic nut that keeps the clutch from going all the way together and letting the belt come all the way out. It has backed off and was only letting the clutch go half way out. After tightening it up it cured the problem and it hasnt happened since.
Check with Jeremy at Mtn View Sports in Coeburn 395-5585 and he will fix ya up.

BTW, if your ever down my way let me know and we will plan a ride.
We usually have around 15 bikes that ride together on the weekends.


HTH!!

Thanks Chris, I posted for my brother-in-law and he took it to the shop today, 460 In Oakwood and they said they thought it was an air filter but didn't call back right away so we thought it may be just a little more than that, I'll pass the word along to Gerald @ 460 so he can check the clutch nut. Have you ever ridden with ATV Ridge Riders from Richlands I know they come to Pennington Gap at least 2 times each year. I haven't got to make that trip yet but I plan to.

Thanks

 

No I havent but if you dont mind tell them the next time they come down to let me know and we will get together!!!!
