well, humm.... if what your saying is true then the bike should run perfectly !
so somewhere along the line it isn't as you say.... the question is WHERE !
I think it's time to step back and re evaluate the siduation from top to bottom !
..... it's running now... but evidently not the best.... spark plugs alone will do that....
Most ninja's seem to run great with some RPM's it's at the slower RPM's that they struggle with.... ( sounds like a Race bike to me !)
....
Question.... How old is the fuel you are using to run this thing with ?
could it be bad already ?
I remember getting 5 gallons of fuel for my bikes and stored it for about 3 months before using it and it gave me a hell of a time I added a bit of 2 cycle oil to it to help stabilize it but not sure that did much..... eventually I used up that gas but it did not want to burn even when I pored it on the ground and tried to light it ! ....
I think the recommendation is about 1 month old or less now....
it used to be 6 months but not any more !
....
