Hey all. Fairly new to riding, again (had a 1980 kz 440 ltd in college). My q is this (a two parter):

What is the power band on my bike, and why does it start popping and sputtering and missing at 6k+ rpm's?

They are more than likely 26mm's. Do you have any mods (pods, exhaust)? If so you will have to rejet.

Here's the Power Curve for the 900. Your one-liter motor will make more horsepower (PS), but it should be similar.
