I took my stock Maverick off the dyno, after installing a Muzzy exhaust & tuning with a Powercommander V, & installing the BRP gizmo. I've seen a lot of people claiming their Maverick revs to 8000rpms, and sometimes it doesn't, so I took my Maverick down the highway for a few runs to see what the throttle is doing. From a dead stop, the throttle blade goes to 100% & holds til the speed/rev limiter shuts it down to around 50%, as it should do. The engine revs to around 8000rpms, & holds this rpm until around 50mph, then the rpms come down to around 7500, then they climb to 8000rpms again, to the speed/rpm limiter. This is classic overrev, clutch is slipping during the first 8000rpm shift speed, then after the belt climbs in the primary, the rpms come down, to actual shift speed, then back up again to the speed/rpm limiter. To confirm....I held the brakes & blipped the throttle a few times, put some heat into the clutches & belt, then made some more runs. The rpms immediately go to 8000rpms, then the throttle shuts to around 50%, then back up, after the throttle shutting, allows the belt to catch up again.
This thing needs a STM Rage 8in the worst way. I'm gonna install one as soon as I get a chance, & see what it does,
