I've been pretty absent on the forum, but am deciding to focus more on the bike this season. I had this issue all last season but was able to still enjoy riding even though the bike wasn't at it's maximum potential.
The revs will stop when riding much like a rev limiter. When it reaches about 10k (varies within 2-5k) it just hangs out and won't go any higher. This happens in all the gears. When in neutral it revs up just fine. Possible thoughts after a bit of research are dirty fuel components? Something to do with a faulty kick switch? I noticed my bike does not turn off when I put the kick stand down so I believe that switch is broken regardless:butbut: Any thoughts?
I've never worked on bikes past simple oil changes, and filter replacements, but want to get this bike into perfect condition. It's got around 7k miles on it, but needs some maintenance for sure. Going to get repainted later this month in fact!
