Ian - i live in daegu, south korea. So what im understanding is its to damaging to the engine if i rev too high anyway. - Does this apply if youre in neutral? and what is a safe rev zone? below 9000?

thanks, revs ok when in neutral, so its not a limiter/restricter. ive got a guy looking at it in a shop. he seems to think its something to do with the clutch. its just taken me 15 minutes to describe what a service is, so im hoping itll come back in working order. thanks again for your comments

the gears are fine as long as i don't accelerate too much (about 8/9 to 13 on the rpms)too quickly. If i do, i can pull right back and absolutley nothing happens. Its like i'm revving in neutral. I wouldnt mind too much but its a bit of a pain when im overtaking and i need a bit of extra kick and it just starts rolling. I took it back to the shop and they changed the gears/oil. I took it out and it was exactly the same (thought the gear changes feel better). I haven't had a chance to check the revs today (in neutral) cos its late so ill have to wait until the morning. you think its a clutch slip?

Thanks for the replies. The bike is a hyosung 250 comet. I don’t think ill screw the engine (at least im not looking to). The revs are running quite low and its preventing me from over taking sometimes in higher gears or getting up hills. Basically, I pull the throttle and its like it goes into neutral – no power at all over certain revs. I can get a high speed but only by keeping the revs low and building up. I’ve had a similar problem in the past (with smaller bike) and it turned out to be the clutch. But like I say, Im pretty new to this and trying to rule out that this is the problem with the accelerator. I read somewhere that a rev limiter would cause this kind of problem. Ill try the test suggested (re: Decor58) to see if I can get the revs up in neutral. I don’t want to remove it unless its necessary. cheers

im new to biking and have just upgraded to a hyosung 250 from a 125cc bike. How do I check to see if it has a rev limiter on and if it does, how can I remove it? (I live in a place where there are few laws regarding bikes so it is not illegal to do so). Im only asking because i get nothing when my revs are high, although i can push the top speed but slowly. This is second starting point as I had the gears changed before i bought it. Thanks
