Hello gents
Woke up and started the old girl to get her warmed up for a run today, found cylinder 1 and 2 weren't getting hot ,figured maybe the plugs were fouled. took them out and cleaned them, That seemed to solve the problem. but it gets better . Put the gear on and off I went thinking its going to be a nice day.,About 30 mins into my ride the bike started to not want to rev past 6k so I decided to turn around and head home.On the way back I opened her up to WOT and as she hit 6k rpm she completely fell on her face and the rev needle was bouncing up and down and could feel she wanted to die but managed to keep the revs up and limp her home. She died as I came into my driveway and figured id leave her for about a hour so she can cool down.Came back hit the start and bike seems to rev fine in neutral but once you start riding in the gears she will not rev past 6k. Could this be the coils? Any answers is much appreciated thanks in advance.

first things to check here.
Fouled plugs need replacing.
Fuel starvation.
Obstruction in the air box.
Im not ruling out the coils but Im leaning toward these things.
You didnt say ..has it been sitting

She only sat for about 5 days so I would say that's not really a long time. I run Pod filters so there is definatly not a restriction ,now fuel starvation that might be the problem will have to check into that,would that actualy cause the electrics just to go all bonkers like that?Thanks
