i am attending some track days this year and occasionally ( say 1 out of every 8 laps ) when I hit the backstretch and let er rip, the bike wont rev beyond 7000 rpm`s. by the next corner she is all normal again and rippin. it has never happened more than 1 time per session, but happens every session. not on the same lap either, it always varies. what da hell is this??? coil? carb?me? is there a rev limiter on these bikes? ???

like it hits 7k and starts cutting out right?

exactly. then the next time around, it is perfect.

thats what mine has been doing... it actually started at my last trackday, but its been doing it every once in a while on the street. I have no idea what is causing it.

i had the same thing happen to me the other day. Anybody come up with any reason this is happening

Is it both cylinders cutting out or possibly just one? Many possibilities. Electrical; coil, ignitor, plugs, plug cap or an erratic rev limitor, which may be part of the pulse generator circuit, the limitor is set near 11K. Fuel; carbs-sticking piston/needle, piston diaphragm tear, sticking float/needle. Sometimes a general tuneup will fix the problem. Airfilter clean? I would check electrical/ignition components first since it's an intermittant problem.

just outta curiosity, how much fuel in the tank? if yer down to a half gallon, you'll starve coming out of corners

another possibility is a piece of debris in the tank occasionally blocking the pickup

is there any pattern to the random reoccurence?

I was thinking what Randy was thinking....
