Twice now and only recently i have hit the limiter and my motor completly cuts out. I have to pull over and start it again. What could be the problem? 04 XB12s | ||

Have you tried toggling the kill switch while you are rolling? What you are describing happened to me, but it occurred while banking. The rev limiter could just be a coincidence. Could be the Bank Angle Sensor. | ||

what do you mean by toggling the kill switch? When it happened i didnt have to come to a stop to start it again, as i was rolling i just fired it back up and kept going... | ||

When my BAS died I would have to either refire the engine or toggle the kill switch (turn it off and then back on) before refiring the engine. | ||
| Im_joedirt |
nope, no need to toggle, just refires straight away. thanks for the input though. Anyone else? | ||
| Im_joedirt |
anyone? | ||

It sounds like a fault in how the rev limiter is operating to me. That would be controlled by the ECM. That just a guess though. | ||
| Im_joedirt |
thats what i thought originally but ecm spy is not throwing any troubles codes.not sure if it would pick something like that up anyway? | ||
| Sifo |
I don't know of a rev limiter fault trouble code. | ||

You MIGHT get temperature limit, oil limit or other safety limit which will also do a spark interrupt which can FEEL like rev limit spark interrupt. | ||

But the motor wouldn't cut out on any of those. The only one that cuts out is the BAS. Am I right? Question: can you start it with the clutch in, or bump as it slows, like you would on a slow speed stall? A triggered BAS requires a toggle so it's not likely that. I'd be looking for a coincidence, i.e., at that speed enough pressure is built up to move that bare wire against the frame; in that riding position I am forcing that bare wire against the frame. | ||

When it happened to me, i was surprised at how long it took the bike to recover from the activation of the rev limiter. I thought I really broke something because of how long it took, but all you should have to do is close the throttle and let the revs come down. | ||

Is only happened twice and i havent tried to clutch start it. I just pull over and while still rolling fire it back up and off i go again. I did notice though that my oil level was a little low. Could it be a safety cut out at high revs? due to lower oil pressure? |
