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?
When you say rev limit, do you mean on the rev counter?

Your fuelling is all to cock, either an air leak somewhere or some ones been playing with, needles/jets, airbox/filters and or end cans.
Does the bike have a AM endcan/exhaust, is there an air box i.e. is there rubbers at the back of the carbs going into an air box or just filters on the back on the carbs?

I mean when I hit the bike’s maximum rpm on the tacho.
There is an aftermarket exhaust, the air box and filter are still in place. Does the popping suggest a lean condition over rich? I’ve suspected there may be some leaks around the rubber carb joints, a bit of carb cleaner sprayed around them at idle does change the rpm a bit
