    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

GSX1100EZ will not rev passed 5k

Took the GSX1100EZ for its first spin yesterday, dam nice bike to ride.
I have to say it was so easy to ride. I felt like I could ride it all day.

Handling could be better but I was impressed until I hit 5000 RPM and that's where the power stopped dead.

The bike has good pull off the mark and seemed ok until I hit 5k.
At home I gave the bike a good bit of throttle and man the timing chain is rattily at higher revs, I am wondering if this will root the timing and cause an issue like this?

Sounds more like a clogged carburetor or clogged air filter issue.
 
Sounds like maybe a carb pilot plug could be missing or damaged, did you clean the carbs?
 
No I did not clean the carbs.
Yes the air box is installed.

Looks like the carbs are coming out for a clean and new carb kits to be installed.

Anyone know a good place to purchase carb kits?

thanks for the advice.
 
Am not an expert, but it might be the ignition system.

When I got my 82 GS550L, I replaced the charging system & overhauled the carbs.
Then ran good but like it had a rev limiter.
So I did the full ignition update (new plug caps + relay mod + Dyna S) & the bike now runs good to redline.
(Have a flat spot from 4.5 to 5k rpm so the carbs need a bit more work next spring.)
 
If you are having the same problem after cleaning the carbs change out the igniter.
