How you guys doing? I cleaned the carbs for the 5th time. Now It runs great till 6000-6500 Rpm and on. Below that it runs on all four. great idle very smooth . Great throttle response. But under a load when i get to 6000-6500RPM it almost sounds like a rev limiter kicking in. If I stay on the throttle it feels like it dropped a cylcinder or two. I cant even imagine what this may be. Please help!

Pickup coil wires.
Valve adjustment.
Carb floats set too low in the bowl.
Carb slide boot(s) have holes or their lips are not set properly in their slots.
Needle jet clip set wrong, try moving clip down one notch.
Tank cap vent plugged.
Clogged fuel filters if you have inlines. -
I think Randy nailed it. Move the needles up one notch in the slides. Worked for me. Can be done with out taking the carbs off the bike
