Yea, but the best i remember it did it before i did rev limiter, i did the rev limiter that is displayed on raptortranny.com with the resistor attached to the two wires(if that helps at all). It used to only do it if i was riding it real hard but it did it the other day when it was cold and i had just started it up so i dunno?!?!

Mine was doing the same thing and I could not get past 3000rpm. There is a wire that plugs into the sensor below the shifter shaft. I cut the wire and went strait to ground with it and problem was gone.

i just got done with my motor work and mine had the same problem all of a sudden and the rev limiter is going on and it wont rev sometimes, other times its fine. I think it is the ground wirh that is coming out below the shifter shaft. Bad ground i think?

The light will blink if you let it sit at a high idle for a few minutes without moving.

A bad groud as mentioned.

A bad connection or wire going to the speed sensor.

A bad speed sensor.

As sixsixT said, reving in netural at high idle will kick the reverse light in blinking.
