If Im going pretty fast (100+mph) and I give the bike a good amount of throttle, doesnt even need to be WOT, It will stutter not accelerate and the rpm's will move up very slowly. This mainly happens in 4th and 5th gears (my bikes a 5 speed). Could it be fowled plugs not burning enough fuel causing the problem? or am I just in to high a gear for the speed Im going? By about 130mph Im pretty much stuck.

For those safety naizes out there: No I do not do this all the time, I wanted to see how ballsy the bike was once and now Im concerned there could be an engine problem.

 

has happened to me before on my yzf1000 97
people said the clutch might be slipping

first time it happened i thought i was doing a burn out but i guess that wasnt the case

 

Hmm maybe...
If I ease on more throttle its alright but Im talking really slowly. Thats why I thought it was a fuel/air problem. Maybe I should sell it and get a fuel injection bike, me and carbs dont mix.

 

Does the bike pull cleanly to redline in low gears (below 100mph)?

 

Yep, It'll run clean upto redline in first and second, and I belive 3rd.

 

you the guy always buzzing down 41?

 

Governor?

 

Its a carburated bike.

 

Haha today I was. I was in a hurry, my bikes blue and silver w/ no labels. Were you one of the 2 guys riding next to me lol?
Ill go pretty quick late at night with no traffic. I dont weave traffic tho thats moronic.

 

for me it did it a night when it was very cold, i mean like in the 40s-50s
thats the first time i had it happen to me
then i had it happen again but it grabbed once i let off and gave it gas again .. dunno honestly, im kinda glad i got rid of that bike, things start to break slowly on a 11 year old bike
