It's not normal or part of break in. Mine drove the same during break in as it did after break in. Put more miles on it watch the RPMs if see over 8400 RPMs it is likely the rev limiter and a clutch issue. If it's happening below 800 RPMs I have no clue what it could be

 

Not normal , have it checked out by delar ASAP

 

There's no codes coming up.. I wonder how the heck they'll fix it.
Maybe I'll ride it another weekend with gas I put in it and see how it is. The dealer said they added octane boost to there gas they put in, so maybe it's shitty gas

 

Also it only does it when I give it full throttle..at any speed.. I can be doing 30 and then pin it and it would do it. Just a quick cut out like, then keep pulling and maybe another cutout and keep pulling...you guys think shitty fuel could do it

 

I know this post is old but this happens to me the only way it doesn't happen is if I pin it full throttle from a dead stop and keep my foot all the way down

 

Knock sensor pulling timing get some good fuel. At least 91 octane, if the dealer put 87 and some octane booster that won't be enough. Most octane boosters only raise points not numbers. Example 87 plus octane booster 87.3 not enough.

 

It is the stock clutching that has you bouncing off the rev limiter. my buddy's '16 XPT did the same thing from day one. Polaris has to clutch these things for all conditions and elevations and sometimes its just not right. We live at sea level so are machines make a little more power than they would at elevation so he is going to have to buy some adjustable weights. You will need to do the same.

 

Mine did at the dealer in OK. Loaded it up, went home to New Mexico at 5600 ft. and haven't noticed it since. Not sure if it was belt slip with more power at lower elevation, maybe better traction at the dealer, I don't know... I just know I noticed it on the test drive but haven't noticed it since.

 

There is nothing wrong with your new Turbo. My brand new one hits the rev limiter every time I punch it on dirt or pavement off the line. My dealer did fill the tank for me but all they had was regular. After a couple days out at Hidden Falls I was able to put in some fresh 93 octane gas in it and it loves it!


Listen to mine. It hits the rev limiter but pulls like a rocket till I let off it.

I love the video. Two things of concern, it needs more weight in the primary clutch to keep it off the rev limiter. And I see there is a fly crawling around on your head getting ready to lay a egg on that little scab at about a minute 30 into the vid.

 

Warlock,
Yours could stand to be clutched as well. Rev limiters are a safety device and not for everyday use.

Well you may be right about my ride needing to be clutched. But I don't have anything "clutched " to reference. For me right now it does just great. I have 120 miles on it now and have ran all the regular gas that the dealer put in it out of it.

93 octane is the best we have here, and its working well. Now as to rev limiters not for every day use, that's not correct. I make a decent living touring and racing my 62 Nova Gasser drag car. And I constantly on every run at every race use a rev limiter for normal use.

Its hooked to a shift light right in front of me, and I bang each gear the instant I see it. Its in a wheelie all the way thru first gear, and in 10 and a half seconds there is not enough time to look at the tach, my hands are full.

In any case, rev limiters don't come up for me at all on the trails, I'm not even thinking of going near that fast out the trails I ride, just too steep, and too rough. And I'm not good enough.

 

Yes the rev limiters are for safety but you won't hurt them hitting the limiter. There is more rpms left in these motors. When you reflash or put a tuner on raising the limiter is part of getting more power by increasing the length of the power curve.

 

Correct; however, if you are on the limiter you are losing power, momentum, and boost. Makes sense to clutch it properly for the current programming rather than live with a sub parr condition.

Agreed

 

Mine didn't hit the limiter when I drove it. I'm gonna drive it later to get some breakin miles on it. I know I shouldn't have floored a few times but....

 

I called Dalton today to see what they are working on for the 17s, but had to leave a message. If mine does start to slip I'll pull the fly weights and tig some material on them then grind them to match on the weight. A little time consuming but is what it is.

 

Call bikeman and get some weights.

 

If you guys are hitting the rev limiters on hard pack or pavement. You may wanna wait til you hit the dirt and are loaded like you would normally use it. Before you decide.

 

Called Dalton and looks like the 2016 kit will work for the 17

 

I'm going to order a Dalton kit for a 16 two seater cuz they don't make one yet for a 17 4 seater. I'll just have to drop some weight cuz the helix angle is different on the 2 and 4 seaters.

 

We ride a lot of fire roads and spend some time in the dunes as well. We clutch for the dunes at sea level and you spend a lot of time at full throttle so you learn about clutching real quick. If you clutch to stay off the limiter in the dunes it will usually stay off in other conditions.

 

If you stop in most dunes, do you ever get stuck? I didn't think too much on how hard it is on clutches and such when your running very hard in deep sand.

We don't have much of that around here, and I don't know if they would let me on the beach down in Corpus or not. But it might be fun to run the coast down to Brownsville or something.

 

You can stop in the sand. The key is air pressure. I used to drop my stock tires to 6 psi and cruise most places. I always run in two wheel drive and if I start getting stuck put it in four.

 

I'm new here why 2 wheel drive versus 4?

 

Exactly.

It's more fun to me driving it that way. You can swing the rear end around especially at the top of a bowl. 4wd is ok sometimes. It's also a whole lot easier if you do get in a jam to toss it into 4wd and pull yourself out of trouble.
