  1. I'm working on a 1200 monster which is doing my head in.
    Bike revs well until 7.5 k then just dies off in all gears as if the throttles were closing.
    That is the neutral max rev limit, but seems to be active even when the bike is in gear.
    Clutch switch is working, side stand OK, exhaust flap OK, and the estimated gear is correct.
    Tank cleaned inside but very clean.
    Anyone seen this before?
     
  2. Does it have MAP or MAF sensors?
     
  3. so fuel filter ok/within service time? if cut-off is consistent then clogged filter a definite possibilty
     
  4. Fitted with map sensors which seen to be showing the expected readings.
    The etv is showing as closing above these revs.
    Power graph up to 7.5 k is exactly as j would expect then it just gains revs gradually.
    It was remapped a couple of years ago, uploaded a stock map with no difference
     
  5. That was one of my thoughts, but normally with a blocked filter it would rev in lower gears but not this case .
    I would change the filter anyway but its not listed separately. £700 for the pump :joy::joy:
     
  6. Forgot to mention there are no codes stored or live

  7. i haven't had a fixed pattern experience over the years as regards low gears/high gears, I can remember cars that wouldn't do either (high or low).

    I agree - some "routine" bits for this bike are a bit of a pain .
     
  8. Check your exhaust flap is opening. I had this happen on my Multi 1200, it wouldn’t rev over 7.5k and that was the problem for me. Took off the cable and fixed it open; boom!
     
  9. Took the cable off, same problem.
    The valve and motor tested OK before that though
