This has already happened to my buddy his first time out, never made it off the trailer
Funny that new cables are on back order from Yamaha tho

Does the YXZ have Tors system?

That's not possible. There is a REV limiter built into the machine. Only way it could actually go that high is if he had the ecu reflashed and being that it was brand new Im sure he didn't have it done.

No it's all stock
Not sure what happened as I wasn't there
But I was told it ran excellent this weekend
