rev-limiter?

[Steve Bakken]

I was doing about 80 mph across a lake last weekend--uh, in another state , in my '99 mxz 600 and everytime the tach would get up to 8100 the motor would shut down for a second, and at about 7900 it would kick back in. It did this numerous times untill I got to the other side and slowed down. We put about 150 miles on after the lake and it ran absolutly fine. I haven't had a chance to check my owners manual yet, but I was curious if anyone else has experienced this.

I have the same sled you have and I have never heard of the problem. I had it out last night and was going about that on the trail and it never did it the only thing I thought was man these rpm's are up there. But I'll check it out today again I'm leaving in about twenty mins.I cant go fishing so I might as welll ride since we have snow.
