How to remove rev limiter??
Is there any way to remove the rev limiter while in neutral? When I'm not moving, it limits at 4k and when I'm moving its at 2k.

Is the little yellow engine light on at the dash?
Does it have an auto (CVT) transmission?

There's a reason why it has a limiter. The CVT is made out of wet cardboard.

The limiter as described sounds more like 'limp mode'. Sumptin's wrong and service is called for....and Nicefeet ain't too far from wrong.

You have your answers above. But your question begs the question. WHY is this important or needed or wanted? That is unless you are purposely trying to hand grenade it
