over rev and shut down

ahhh, I'm an idiot.
I mis shifted at rev limiter and over revved the poor ol girl. It shut down and coasted to a stop. 30 seconds later it did fire up and ran fine. I didnt hear or feel an mechanical drama. Has anyone ever experienced this? maybe there's some electrical failsafe to shut down before any major damage is done????
Bike is running fine, just wondering.

I have a 99 and have had it in the red but not to the limiter, wouldn't surprise me if there is a failsafe for the motors sake, was it like instant or did the rpms bounce for a sec or so?
