What is the REV LIMITER on the XT660Z?
 

Hello all,

I own a XT660ZA (ABS model, 2015), and i recently stumbled on something strange to me.
I was doing 110+ kmh, on 4th gear, with the RPM up to 5500+, when suddenly the "CHECK ENGINE" and the "WATER TEMPERATURE" lights blinked for a second, my throttle was cut down momentarily but resumed after 2 secs.

Was this my first encounter with the REV LIMITER???
Is it not a little low, just 5.500 RPM, with a red line at 7.500 RPM??

Thank you for your feedback..

I have just re-done the test, the actual "problem" jumps in at 5.500 RPM.. Is it the rev limiter or should I have my bike checked??

thank you all!

Is the bike restricted? The rev limiter won't cut in at those low revs normally. My rev limiter cuts in well into the red zone and although it rarely happens I can't remember any warning lights showing. I think I'd get it checked out if it was mine.

What do you mean by "restricted"?
It is in factory settings, no mod performed...

Over here you can ride a larger engined bike on a lower A2 license but the power has to be restricted to a limit of 35kW or 47bhp.

Visited the YAMAHA dealer yesterday. It is a problem. Cause unknown..
I have transferred the discussion here:
HELP: XT660ZA 2015 won't rev above 5.5k RPM when hot..
