If you're in it hard, like full throttle all out and hit the rev limiter, you're going to think someone shut off your ignition ....... Oh, they did, that's what the rev limiter does, it just cuts out .......the rev limiter is there for that safety factor to keep your equipment in one piece, I just don't recommend banging it that hard every day ..........
