The stock rev limit is 5500 rpm. It's like hitting a wall just when you are starting to pick up real power.

you can get the dealer to program "rev extend" which takes you to 6250, but if you go for a PCIII you can enable it yourself plus get a better fuel map etc plus get covered for any further mods you do..&nbsp\\; getting these bikes to rev out more does make a huge diff i have an 08 Bob and can get it off the clock no problem..&nbsp\\;

Sounds like a problem with the ecm. Needs to go back to the dealer for him to evaluate and fix. It should rev just fine all the way to the limiter with full throttle. Keep us posted on what the dealer does for you.
