Both V92 engines I've had were governed right around 2100 indicated. The gauge could be off a bit so I don't know what the exact limit was.
That is what the engine will do under power. Going down a hill it is possible to overrun the governed setting and I've been told by various knowledgeable mechanics to keep it below 2200-2300. I plan on 2100 max down hills and then if I get distracted it's unlikely to exceed 2200-2300. I read somewhere of someone going to 2500 while coasting. I don't plan on allowing that. The thing I don't know is how the Jake Brake would change the engine health if rev'ed beyond 2200. What I do know is that the Jake Brake has little impact at lower rpm's on the 2-strokes, but when it's working it sounds COOL!
