Hey guys, new to my 98 FZS600 (and carby bikes in general) so apologies if this is something simple/covered already.
I noticed today when pinning it in first/second, that when the bike hits the rev limiter, it doesn’t just bounce off it until I change gears, it seems like there’s a sudden loss of power and the bike slows/bogs and drops revs.
Is this normal? Or indicative of a problem?
Also, not sure if it’s related, but I’m getting a lot of popping in the exhaust, particular under deceleration/engine braking.
Cheers!
