Did i read some where on here that at prolonged high revs these can suffer with fuel starvation cos took it out tuesday evening and got the chance to really give it some stick and hey presto it almost cut out on me. Bugger, back in the workshop it goes!

I've never had any issues other than bouncing off the rev limiter in 5th gear. Very Happy

I think mine does it. Ride it at a ton + for a while and then roll it back to 70 / 80 and after a couple of miles it will lose some power. Like it won't accelerate. Leave for a littl while and it's fine.

I tried it last weekend and it went to 10,000 rpm in 5th gear and in certain situations it seems to pull back or hesistate and then it flies on variour throttle openiongs. All in all not too bad to affect me though....
