reverse rev limiter
1 - 16 of 16 Posts
Your reverse rev limiter is there so you pretty much don't kill yourself. The bike is extremely less stable while going backwards, and it is alot easier to roll the bike if your not careful. The rev limiter is there so you don't go too fast, and also save the tranny. But if you would like to remove it there is a company that makes a kit to remove it. I've also heard you can ground the wires out. Just do a search on here about removing reverse rev limiter....or something along those lines, and i'm positive you'll come up with something
I got that rev limiter thing, i installed myselk in abouth 15 minutes..... its worthed.....
I think you can get it at www.ripperracing.com

you don't need to buy either to do away with it. Down by your shifter is a green wire with a white stripe, take it off the sensor and ground it to the frame, the CDI will always think its in a forward gear so you'll have no rev limiter in reverse but you're reverse light will no longer work either.
Other options are to buy an 01 CDI, 01s did not have the reverse rev limiter, or if you still want the reverse light to work you'll have to get one of the above mentioned ones.

Yeah, the reverse gear is a horrible ratio that provides essentially no torque and therefore requires you to slip the clutch a whole lot to get going. And often times it's not enough power and can be dangerous. Not to say that 30mph backwards without the limiter isn't dangerous though.Honda_KiLlEr660R said:

thats true, I should have mentioned that :thumbsup:
If you purchase a Dyna F/S ignition for an 01 Raptor, it will have the reverse rev limiter built into it even though the factory one does not. But still, just ground the green wire with the white stripe and its gone again.

I have the reverse limiter by-pass that ripper racing makes.
The limiter by-pass was more of a need than a want. The bike as it was wouldn't go up any incline without seriously slipping the clutch to get moving. I was hitting the rev-limiter almost off idle and wasn't able to back into my garage!
Everything works as advertised and installing the by-pass only took a few minutes. Now I can back into my garage with ease! :thumbsup:
Like was mentioned before...with the by-pass, reverse can become "scary" if your not careful. All in all it was a $30 well spent.
YMMV

bypassing the rev limiter
Ya I bypassed it by unhooking the L shaped plug under the front sprocket of my 03 raptor 660 and found an end that slides in the plug and hooked up the wire to it and slide it on the original plug and ran it to the ground on the battery.
(And now it is so fast and spits rocks out the front LOL) "works grate"

Good response to a 5 year old thread, LOL...
Welcome to the forum - if you look at the sticky's at the top of the 660 sections, you will find a couple of them related to the reverse limiter elimination, by grounding the green/white wire as you described.

Slack? We ain't got no stinkin' slack!
Seriously, reddicopp, I suggest you read the sticky at the top of the General 660 Discussion section titled "Most Common Problems with the Raptor 660" to get some general ideas on common issues, and while you're there, read the other stickies at the top of each section to get a good, rounded education on lots of 660 topics.
Then, keep contributing posts to the forum - everyone's input is valuable.
