    A few important 300ex questions

    First, I changed my oil this weekend for the first time. The motor has just finished breaking in (about 20 hrs) I noticed quite a bit of metal in the oil filter? My buddy said it was prolly normal and just from break in wear on the gears and such? Secondly my ignition seems to break down in reverse. My manual says nothing about it but we seem to think its some sort of rev limiter. Does this quad have a rev limiter? I cant tell what rpm its at by listening to it so it'd be comforting to know i cant overrev it. Does it have any sort of rev limiter in neutral or forward gears? Also what is max rpm for this engine? It is an 03 300ex. Thanks for the help guys.
    Peace,

    Wayne

    I can answer 2 of the questions... The metal in the oil is normal from break in, and reverse does have a rev. limiter....

    The rev limiter is part of the ignition so it doesn't matter what gear your in, the engine will still start to cut out when the max rpm is reached. As for the metal in the oil filter I wouldn't worry about it yet, just keep an eye on it over the next couple of oil changes.

    Actually I read that the 300ex is 13 hp.. lol but who knows, its just stuff ppl put on the net anyways

    Also read it has a 8,750 rpm rev limiterin forward/neutral.. I think its lower in reverse...

    However your lawn mower is geared for torque and is probably 1 speed, and your 4 wheeler can do over 7mph and has 5 gears
