The rev limiter is not the issue. I was told they advance timing at mid range rpm between 6-7 degrees. If you spend not time in that area then you wouldn't have a problem. If you do AND you have a higher compression motor then you will have issues, like I did. I am not saying this is fact it is just what Harry at Group K and Jet Ski Solutions told me. I ride a lot of river and canals and just cruise around when I am not being a nut so I guess that's where my issues came from. The bad part for me was every one had me thinking that WOT was my issues so when i would cruise up the canal to a lake or down the river I would end up cruising around from bottom to 3/4 throttle a lot.
