I have my rev limiters snipped but have not ridden with them snipped yet. I have been seeing more and more posts about people saying they dont want to blow up there engines and people that HAVE blown up there engines and now im getting nervous! Should i be worried about this?

i know i know.. "dont let your friends ride it" and "let off when you go off a wave"

im just nervous.... what should i know?


thanks

I removed mine completely from my 85 550, didnt even really notice a difference cuz I dont ride wide open also, ride SMART and there should be no problem..

The electronic part of it is all figured out, the adjustable part is not so much. I need to hurry up and at least put my engine all back together so I can start it and get all those little details like rev limiter voltage engagement and adjustment to rpm change and what-not to take the next step forward. Trust me, when we know something solid, everyone will.

Right there with you on that. I'm scrubbing my cases for paint as we speak and waiting on crank seals. Great fun on a 55+degree day when I should be out on the bike

How often have you been on the rev limiter when it was hooked up? I don't ride like that so it's not a problem for me
Over rev for a split second is not an issue, sustaining it pinned for a long period is what you don't want to do. It will be just fine leave it off.

bkoche: you have an RE5 too lol haven't fired mine yet this year. I'm still waiting for a gasket kit, and a top end kit, and my head to come back from the machine shop. So far I've painted my block silver and have the hull in primer. So next weekish the engine will be running, I hope.
