Spluttering and poping over 7 to 8000 rpm

[Zane]

Hi Guys,

Quick note. Am noticing when riding that when I take the bike up to 7000 or 8000 rpm a splutter in the rev range. 1st gear seems fine, it's more noticeable in the other gears. I have been looking at past posts to find answers, but could not find anyone that had experienced the same issues. I thought that it may be bad fuel purchased. I changed the spark plugs on the bike about a month ago, however I don't think it's related.

Has anyone got any ideas as to what is causing this problem? Any thoughts.

A mate says that I might need to change the fuel filter. Could this be the answer.

I have also noticed that when you are in 2nd gear all the way to 6th gear, if you give the bike full throttle in these gears above 5 to 6k the bike also splutters......

Any ideas?

If you only get the issue at high rev's a block in the fuel line might cause that, I think bad connections on the HT leads can cause that too.

I am going to purchase a fuel filter later today for the bike. I believe it's the same as the filter used on the TLR engine one.

If this does not work I will send it to my mechanic to check it out.
