New to me '96 VMax 600XT; 4200 miles. Ran awesome when I bought it and for a couple weeks after, but after a long ride 2 weeks ago, it will only get up to 55 or 60 and 7000 rpms. I've changed the plugs a couple times just to be sure that has nothing to do with it. I've also thoroughly cleaned both carbs, set the float levels and idle screws, and I've worked with the primary clutch (even swapped it out with another that works perfect on a buddies VMax and mine works right on his). All I can think of is that there's a problem with something like a high speed ignition coil. Is that a feasible idea; could that explain why this thing won't wind up to where it did before? And if so, since I have no manual, how do I test for this before tearing it down?
