[QUOTE="canyncarvr, post: 713511, member: 16552"] The kdx does not have an electronically controlled spark governor (read: rev limiter). The upper rev limit comes from a combination of things....port timing, scavenging/ramming effect of the exhaust, carb tuning etc. While it's unlikely you are going to cause any damage to a (otherwise mechanically sound, properly tuned) 200 running it at WOT, it's always given me severe heartburn when someone twists it wide open in neutral and just sits there for awhile under the guise of 'clearing' something out. Or they think they're 'checking the main.' Sheesh...just tune the thing right in the first place and that won't be an issue (you won't 'have to' do it). The only time you should be concerned about an overreving situation is when you're breaking the bike in, or after a rebuild. Which is to say, don't put a new top-end in it...take it out and run it pinned. [/QUOTE]
