So I'm just driving along just fine and all of a sudden my bike gets this bogged down sound and it won't go past 5k rpms in any gear, as if the rev limiter is kicking in. I did get it up to 7k on a long straightaway but very briefly. I looked at the spark plugs and they look fine. I put a new fuel filter on tonight and rode it (after the problem started; old filter was warped), same problem (slightly better). I synced the carbs because I was planning on that anyways as well.....

The bike DOES however, redline in neutral! Not sure if it does with the clutch pulled in while in gear though........ The oil was topped off before I rode and I got a good 40 miles in before the problem started happening..... any ideas?
