    Cannot rev past 6500 RPM under load

    So, I'm a brand new European member but I've roamed around this forum and still I'm unable to fix my bike: I've bought an cursed 85 restricted French Vmax, site unseen, and worst of all, sent a buddy of mine to check and bring the bike (since he was a veteran rider and I've assumed he would...

    Stumble Under 2.5k RPM?

    When I throttle over 1/4 to 1/3 and the bike is under 2500 rpm it will stumble and almost make a tst tst tst sound while giving zero power beyond the amount it starts to stumble at. I've also noticed that it will do the tst tst sound when i go past about 1/3 choke. Any idea what it could be?

    2-3k stumble at wot. Need help

    From about 2-3k, I've got a stumble at wot. It seems probably rich, as it kinda breaks up part of the time, and riding without the airbox cover clears it up somewhat. I've leaned out the needle, and it helped some, but didn't take care of it. I've got a muscle jet kit and full exhaust. 157.5...
