I think that I may already have the answer for this problem, myself, but I figure a few twisted minds are better than one in my kitchen.
My bike just passed 16k miles on the odometer, about a week or so ago, and yesterday, while riding out to the coast I noticed an ugly dead/flat spot at anything over 2500RPM where the bike would sort of choke or buckle under me. It never shut off and it's smooth as butter below 2500RPM but as soon as I get cruising on the highway on 5th gear, she starts to buckle. I'm thinking maybe it's time to get the valves checked/adjusted and replace the spark plugs. What's your thoughts, oh Warrior mad scientist friends of mine?
