As title says the powerband starts to kick in about 8000rm then the bike just stops reving it sits contantly at 10000rpm no matter what gear your in i,ve gutted the exhuast removed, speedo restriction i cleaned the air filter and put new spark plug in the power valve is working as i can hear it when i put the key in the ignition i get the 3 whuring noises it pissing me off as when it starts to hit the power band you can feel the power thats there but like i said before lots off pull between 8000rpm and 10000rpm and thats it stuck at 10000rpm constantly any help would be much appreciated other wise i,m going to have to take it down the local motorbike shop who charges £45 and hour thanks

knock the clip on the carb needle down 1 notch after messing with mine today mine is doing the same so tomorrow im going to change my needle setting as i think this is what is causing it
yes m8 worked for me but if it dosnt work for you try running the bike with the airbox cover off and see if it improves as mine was also getting air starved
If your running a stock front pipe your powerband should be kicking in at around 5.5k rpm
yeah it kicks in about 6000rpm then its out of juice at around 9500rpm but it will rev to 10000rpm and thats it it still does 75+mph is this normal then thanks
Has anyone else got the same modifications as my bike and if so does your bike do the same if not what do think the problem could be as this is like riding a fourstroke at the moment lots of power low to midrange up to 8500 to 9500 rpm then like said before it just stops revving i'm starting to get fed up with it would a dep sport pipe sort out this problem out or do you think its could be a carb problem it still pulls 75mph and nots that slow getting there but theres not much of a power band but it does pull quite hard through the gears i'm tempted to stick it in the shop on thursday and let him try and sort it out any advice would be very much appreciated thanks
im getting a similar problem buddy but i am running a slightly different set up i adjusted the needle in the week and low and top end improved but i got mid range splutters in my case its a case of getting everything on the carb set up right it may take some messing but i will get it done if i notice anything worthwhile along the way i will let you know
sounds to me the power valve is stopping it, my bike was the same until i dissconected the power valve and pinned it open, the blike flew then !
I did not think of that i suppose if its not fully opening it would hold the bike back because no matter what gear i,m in it just won,t red line how how hard is it to adjust the power valve and do you think this deffo the cause of my problems thanks

its some how fixed its self whilst out on it over the weekend while i was thrashing it there was a change in the exhuast note it went from quite a deep throaty noise to a nice tinny noise now it hits 80+mph for fun even with my fat arse on it i have not got clue what was up with it but i,m loving it now
Mine did that it was the battery kept failing it's a deep sound and there's not much accesration is there if so it could be battery or electrics mate :)

I think it is the battery just lately when i first get it out ready to go to work i put the key in and turn it and the oil and nuetral light come on faintly and the powervalve does not do its usual 3 whirring noises but oce i,ve been on it for say 10 minutes and stop it and tunr the ingnition back on the lights are nice and bright and you hear the powervalve moving
batterys not holding the charge mate by the sounds of it sounds like the alt/ reg/rectifer works so u need new bat where as my bat work tho my alt reg/rectifer dont work
i've no idea why it stops at 10,000rpm....
