I put a full 2.5" exhaust and boondocker air filter and am now hitting the rev limiter. Its not bouncing off until high speeds but is hitting when pinning the throttle are, so what should I do about it?

- Start date
heavier flyweights are required.
Install a set of adjustable weights to bring rpm down.

two things come to mind you can change your primary spring to a lower finish rate or add more weight to the primary clutch
Switch to the green spring?
Well I was wanting to looking to making my clutch engage a little faster. What would be better?
Yup
First mod I did was a 3" TD full exhaust. I was amazed at how much power I got from just installing the exhaust kit. I had to add weight!

It is almost impossible to keep it off the rev limiter with the narrow powerband the stock tune with a piggy back gives. All of our tunes are raised to 8500, but in the future we will be raising the limit to 8800 to allow the clutches more overshift without hitting the rev limit before it settles to 8100-8200. This and not being able to manipulate timing are the biggest draw back to all piggybacks.
so what do you suggest? Hoping to get your programmer in the next month or so.

If you are getting any of our tunes, you will not have this problem anymore.
so how bad is it to jus let the machine do it for now?
Please clarify...
Are you looking for quicker spool up, or lower engagement? Even adding a can to the 1100T in stock form allows the engine to breathe, which will have you bouncing off the rev limiter. You have two ways to contend with this: Use a lighter spring with a lower engagement & finish rate ( I used a polaris gold 100/275 last year with good results AND heavier weights at 90g, tip heavy, as I was running a BC250 kit - stock spring is 122/285 with 85g weights)., or heavier weights only, which will not really change engagement much, but may help keep you off the rev limiter. Realistically, the best bang for your buck is an EVO tune with BRV, and clutch to keep RPM in check. Hope this answers your question.
What's the elevation you ride? I ride 8 to 12k feet.
would also like to know this???
Re: elevation...
6-9000'. I suspect 87-88g tip heavy with the gold spring will work for you... what are the locals running in your area?
There are only a few people running these sleds around a here that I know of.
