Hi Guys!
Long time reader, first time writer
Until 2 days ago I had the following broblem:
My K100 cuts off when I rev above 5000 rpm. In top gear this is at about 120 kph. It would just kind of hesitate at firts, and then completely cut off for about 2 seconds (no power at all), after which when I close the throttle and wait for a few seconds, everything seems fine again...
There is only a problem above 5000 rpm, under 5000 rpm everything seems fine and the bike pulls good, no problem at al. It's only when I rev above 5000 rpm (doesn't mather wich gear i'm in) that the engine starts to hesitate and eventualy cut out.
This problem just started about 200k ago. Before I had no problem at all.
Yesterday, things got worse:
I was driving on the highway at about 110 kph, when suddenly the power was gone completely! I could only rev until 2500 rpm. So top speed in 5th gear was 60 kph I was lucky I was near an exist, so I left the highway and limped home at 50-60 kph. Even when I rev in neutral, I could only rev until 3500 rpm. So my bike is not driveable until this issue is fixed.
I recently (600k ago) did a clutch spline lube and replaced the water/oil pump, fuel filter, oil filter, oil, brake lines,...
Does anybody have an idea what the problem could be? Something with the ignition maybe? I don't think there is something wrong with the fuelsystem, since I had full power untill I reach 5000rpm...
Thanks!
