    Bike acts like it has a rev limiter in around 5000 rpm

    Well droping the float height helped a lot but it is still present however you can pull out of the problem area. I set the float height to 16 mm, I guess I could set it to 16.5 I'm afraid I'll make it run too lean has anybody ever had a problem with the needle Jets and those carburetors being...

    Bike acts like it has a rev limiter in around 5000 rpm

    I've finally figured it out it showed its face. I was at my ol motorcycle buddy's house were I shut it off , then he said start it and drive by his house at full throttle so he could hear it. So I cranked the bike took off and it didn't do it , turned around and launched that bike absolutely...

    You can get past 5000 rpm with throttle slowly but it has difficulty. Yes all rubber is new fuel lines etc

    Bike acts like it has a rev limiter in around 5000 rpm

    I cleaned all the advance but being behind the swing arm I've not got it all back together yet I'm hoping this was it it had some rust on the advancer and was sticking a little. Coil is new it's a neon coil that I just put on chasing the problem

    This is a great observation and thank you for the input. I agree normally I would say this would be a carburetor issue thing is this is a separate set of carburetors that I've stuck on this both freshly rebuilt but with still the same symptom this one's got me pretty stumped I took the spark...

    Bike acts like it has a rev limiter in around 5000 rpm

    I stated earlier it's nothing in the carburetor system these are two different sets of carburetors all with rebuilt internals and it still does the exact same thing I'm wondering if it might be the fuel pump or the coils

    Bike acts like it has a rev limiter in around 5000 rpm

    I'm hoping that's what it is I'm doing the neon coil mod to it now coils don't have any cracks or anything and they ohm out okay

    I have a 81 GL1100 I fully restored this bike that's the one that I've been working on for the past 6 months now I got it on the road and as long as you accelerate normally it'll go through the gears it'll go through the RPM range just fine smooth this silk. But if I get on it 3/4 throttle or...
