I can't get over 30mph. The belt looked glazed over so i scuffed it up a little and took another ride, same symptoms. I had both clutches apart a few weeks ago and cleaned them. Did I do something wrong? This is a 2011 RZR S, this is the first time I have driven it. I got it from a salvage yard so I have no idea what the previous owner did.

I never looked, I had it on the temp setting. I will take it out tomorrow, too late now. My neighbors would be pissed if I was driving around this late.lol All I remember is that it hit 25mph pretty quick but to get to 30mph I had the pedal to the floor and it took about 10sec.

It kinda sounds like the belt is worn out. Mine wasn't that extreme but it had gotten to the point where it wouldn't go past 45. Turned out the belt was just worn out.

Check the spark plugs. Mine was acted like it wasnt getting any gas and wouldnt go about about 20mph. I got it home and rode it the next day and it was fine. Rode it another day and it did it for a minute and then quit. i then checked the spark plugs and cleaned them and put some grease around the boot and it ran fine. i let it sit for a little while to go do other things then came back to test ride it and it was riding like it firing off one cylinder. I checked the spark plugs and I had put to much grease on the boot and it wasnt getting any grip and ratteling out. i cleaned the boot and so far it has been running fine. I think my spark plug boot was just a little loose.

This may not be your problem but it wont hurt to check

Spark is good, I reset the TPS to .738 and made sure the butterfly was open at full throttle. doesn't make sense why I only get to 4100 RPM. Lets say the clutches are bad I should still get to the rev limit shouldn't I? I can hit the rev limit in park or neutral just not in gear. I'm suspecting the clutches..

.735 is set with throttle closed. Full throttle will give you about 3.??? Volts

Could still be limp mode. Limp mode is designed to get you back to camp/civilization/your trailer at low rpm.

I had a problem like that. I was running a ump filter and some snorkels. The snorkels had the pre filter on them. When the little pre filter on the snorkel would get clogged up with sand the rzr would not get past 25 to 30 mph. As soon as I cleaned the pre filter off it would run fine. It would also rev up I park like nothing was wrong. But as soon as I would drive it would act up again till I cleaned the pre filter off.

Okay, maybe I missed it, but what year and model are we talking about here? I'll search my service manual.
