I know you said it sounded like it was bouncing off the limiter, but didn't sound that high. So use the tach and see how many RPM's it is turning that way you will know.

 

I did that yesterday and it was tough to tell...right now its happening right off idle and there is NO way its reving that fast right off the bat to hit the limiter...what is the rev limit on these anyways?

 

6500

 

My RZR did did that new. I had bad gas.

 

I'm not buying the bad gas theory...I fill up at the same station all the time that has a high volume of fuel sales...

 

todays "so called" fuel goes bad very quickly... it is the kryptonite to any of these supermachines. I know you said you get fuel from a high volume station, but if you only have 6 miles on it- what about the fuel the dealer had installed... they have to put something in for running it at the dealership. To help make the fuel last a little longer- look for fuel that is ethanol free. we can buy it around here if you look for it.... it lasts longer and runs better in small hi-performance engines.

This is the most logical pace to start....

 

Are you sure you weren't in "Low" range. Done it myself more than once.

 

yep...I thought about that as well

 

Why bother with it.. Take it to the dealer and tell them to figure it out.. Its probably something very simple..

 

It sound like the clutch is not working properly That's also why the belt smoked.The rpm gauge if slow to react it might say its reving alot lower then it is.Your going to have to take it back to the dealer

 

Ding Ding Ding winner!

 

and why havent you answered the rpm question? you just bypased it... you want help but dont answer questions that will help....

 

also what is the "E" that is next to the gear indicator? Every now and then there will be an "E" next to what ever gear you are in...I read the manual but did see anything about that...so it might say "H" when you are in high or it might say "HE"?

 

Thats a new one to me.Might be something to do with the new fuel system on th 2011's

 

mr. Wrong,
Don't see any profile, garage, etc. What is your background? What do you do?
curious, thanks

 

not really sure what that has to do with anything..however I work waste managment if you want a pic of the machine in question here you go

 

do you need a number? It's happening right off idle, all the way up to 6500rpm's I tried to see what RPM it was happening at yesterday, however it was tough to tell what exact RPM it was happening at. Most of the time it was happening at the lower RPM ranges, some times it was happening at the upper RPM ranges...I will say it hasnt gone past 6500RPM's I positive its not the AWD icon...its a large "E" right next to the gear indicator

 

On my 09, the only "E" on the guage face is the "E at the bottom of the fuel guage and it is to the extreme right of the gear indicator but mine shows the little gas pump between the gear indicator and the "E"

 

Nice looking rzr.When its fixed can you update us as to what the problem was Thanks.

 

for sure...its going in tomorrow and they said they were going to take care of it right then and there and if for some reason they cant they will bring it back to me when its done

 

for a person that wants help your answers are evasive...rude and well i wont go their....

several people have offered help but for some reason you feel you need to be rude so have fun fixing it... you play nice we play nice!!!

 

not really sure I was being rude or evasive...anywho I dont want to fix it that is what the warranty is for, I was just attempting to see if this is a common problem or not. it does not appear to be the case...thanks to all those that tried to narrow it down

 

"E" stands for Empty!!

 

I was thinking the same thing..... Are you sure it has gas in it?? J/K'ing
Let us know what you find out at the dealer....

 

Mr. rong, with 6 miles on your new machine you should be doing your break-in which includes the belt. These machines are build tight and need to be broken in as stated in the owners manual. I know I'll get flack from some of the form members but it is something to consider.

I know I'll catch some flack for this but there are many and I stress many theories on how to properly break in a motor and I have tried many of them as I used to roadrace motorcycles. I would get a new bike every two years. While not the same motor as a crotch rocket I am breaking in the rzr's motor with a method I've found to be the best on my bikes...I've dyno proved that the method I'm using works and works well. I didn't come up with this method but I tried it three times and had great results all three times. So I will leave that one alone. I'm aware of belt break ins as well as I own snowmobiles...same clutch and belt system, believe me I'm not going to go out of my waty to screw this machine up, I want it to last, but nothing I've done so far should have caused these problems

 

...

 

here is the "e" I was talking about and also for the guys asking about the RPM's it looks like its starts happening right around 2600 or so? I'm starting to think it has something to do with the temp gauge as it only shows up when I have the temp gauge on...it does matter if its stone cold or in operating temp that "e" is there

 

I'd say that "E" is related to your problem for sure....as far as what it stands for, well that's a good question. Curious about this one

 

looks like it's a (PE) not just a e.

a read of the owners manual might have it listed as the 2011 has alot of new features...also someone said if the seat belts are not used it slows the rzr down? dont know if true but worth checking out.

 

ya, "P" for park as it was in park and then the mystery "e" the "e" shows up in any gear and I always use my seat belts...I'm big on safety...in fact I'm ditching the stock ones for some harnesses....I've read the manual and couldnt find anything about the "e"

 

I just assumed the P was for park

 

You need to remember Johnnycat8 is slow sometimes.......lol

 

That gauge looks way different then my 08.

 

Nice looking RZR, i'm sure the dealer will have it squared away soon and you will be riding in no time..
