Qui-gon, it has a tach? Nothing in my book about one and my speedo looks like the one on my 300. Is it a function of that unit I have not found? Now you got me curious!

My guess is that it was spinning pretty good and I was not used to not hearing it wail so I over revved it. I did not let it happen again.

Rode around w/o helmet (eye protection always) and never got close to winding it up since I could hear the engine.

It never quit pulling until it hit that limit. I also was on the road. I'd never run it that hard in the woods and probably that was as hard as I have run it since I got it.

Since you guys verified it does have a limiter I'm pretty sure I just took it all the way.

I have been breaking it in and for a lot longer than the book says. No lugging, no high RPM, varying speeds, heating it up and letting it cool completely. Putting just a few miles at a time on it...you know a tank of gas worth

Thanks guys, for the info.
