Yup, It's called lack of Horsepower.LOL

Most quad with stock HP won't come anywhere near the Rev. Limiter in top gear.

The type of pipes you are running on your Shee will determine how high it will rev.Do not try to find a rev limiter there is none unless you consider the parking brake switch to be one...

I don't think yall understand,I mean something that stops the engine from trying to accelerate anymore in the last gear at top speed like 75. You know,something that keeps me from floating the valves!

2 stroke, the only thing from limiting the revs is air flow (and piston speed). In and out (or up and down). The reed valves work totally different than on valves on a 4 stroke. As the piston goes up it draws air into the crankcase opening up the reed valves. As the piston goes down it is creating pressure in the crankcase forcing the reed valves closed and pushing the air in to the combustion chamber. So like smitty911 said your stock machine will not have enough HP to pull max rpm's in 6th gear. Hope this helps.

So,you're saying I could hold it wide open full throttle in 6th gear going 75 and it not screw anything up?

I guess nobody has gotten their banshee up to 75 and kept it at full throttle.....

Thrust, your confised I think. A rev limiter has nothing to do with valves, all it is a "something(I hate elcetronic stuff[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img])" in the CDI unit that stops an engine from revving past XXXX RPM. And it doesn't just apply to 6th gear!
