Rev limit???

[El Toro Rosso]

With only 5300 miles on it, I will be severely disappointed if it is the fuel filter.

It takes just one dose of bad gas to ruin the filter. It is good to replace them in a schedule, but when there is a true failure, it is often sudden and unexpected.

Well, I'll reload the map and replace the fuel filter just in case (it's only like $6 for a NAPA replacement)

It may be you are reaching a torque or horsepower ceiling, not really a rev limit. Just that the bike doesn't want to go higher in that gear cause it is strongest at a lower rpm and therefore you need to upshift. That's usually what it feels when you've hit the top of your curve. It can rev higher but it just doesn't want to do it in the present gear setting.

IF your using the 9000 rpm limit that will give you around 85 mph in first gear .

With that low a mileage, fuel filter would be the last thing I'd do. Just sayin. I haven't found bad fuel or filters to be the culprit for years.

I would guess the tune is somehow off. Not saying anything about Hanso's tune as he is the man, but logic says it's somehow a mismatch between your mechanical configuration and your tune? Just my 5 cents...........

did this happen after you gave the bike a wash, I say this because behind the left hand plastic infill panel just behind the motor there is some connectors that don't like water check and fill with Dielectric grease otherwise I would like others have said check fuel filter .... there is some crappy fuel out there

I think he said stock motor, I don't think you want to rev stock valve train that high.

No only the modded bikes are setup with that rev limit .

At the moment the bike is mostly stock just a few performance upgrades: Dain 3-to-1 Exhaust, Ram-Air with crank case filter, Hans.O tune, NGK spark plugs.

so why the 9000rpm comment or are You trying to sell your Carpenter stuff again?
