Hitting a invisible brick wall

Sure it's not the Rev limiter??  Never tried mine that hard
Maybe I should!! 

I wasn't aware that they had a rev limiter :S

Have you taken the plates back out?  :lol

100% there are no plates in there  :lol

Have you taken the plates back out?  :lol

Or even tried changing up from 3rd  :lol

Any gear after 3rd it does it, but it is near enough at 100 every time so I can put it in 6 th and go from 30 to 100 no problem, today when it was happening I pulled the clutch and reved and it was still sounding like it was dying and I was unable to redline until my speed dropped...

Sounds like it's restricted. There's two types of restrictor,the after market washers and the Yamaha restriction through the carbs

The carbs were never restricted, and I restricted it with the plates for my mate myself.

Cleaning the carbs is one thing, having them balanced can help "a lot" although i doubt that's the main problem.


Don't rely too much on the filter being spotless, we've had some odd weather this year, mainly the tail end of other countries sand storms, i know this 'cos my K&N was noticeably dirty after 700 miles.



It does kind of hint at some sort of restriction by the sound of things, from earlier posts on here that sounds like a similar speed where the engine tends to run out of puff.


Have you ever noticed any hissing when opening the petrol tank cap, there'sa small possibility the tank breather could be blocked causing a fuel restriction?


If you really had 155mph out of it before then congratulations, 'cos you once had the fastest FZS600 in the country! 

The carbs are balenced, and the the bottom end is amazing, a zx10r struggles to keep up round roundabouts/twisteys ... Until around 60... Haha :L

I'll take the filter out and give it a clean then see what happens

And the tank pressure is good, I checked when I saw that in red98s post  :lol

And thanks haha obviously that's was clock speed rather than gps  :\

155?
Pah I say!

And pah again!

Besides that, clearly you know about engines and are experiencing a problem, but I wouldn't expect it to get any faster in 3rd!

Clock speed and it did take a while to get there but it used to pull to 140 and then slowly build up speed but it really helps with a lower faring and being 10 stone  :b
And she wants to go slightly more in third but "runs out of puff"

Soured for the long post but thanks for your help so far guys 

Thanks,
Tom
