‘04 xl883. ‘06 bottom end, s&s 1200 cylinders & pistons. Drag specialties clutch with grenade plate removed. Dynatek ignition module. My bike won’t take WOT. It falls flat on its ***. My guess is around 5 or 6 thousand rpm, if u give it WOT. Or trying to band gears. Easing on the throttle it will run out better but still missing something. Before ignition change.and clutch change was stronger.

What jetting do you have? What timing configuration? Have you looked at your spark plugs? Check for vacuum leaks? MAP sensor working corectly?

Congratulations on your first post to HDF from Kentuchy to the forum.

5k or 6k RPM is about the limit of the RPM range for a Sportster, it is not a bike that has a higher RPM range. May want to contact Dynatek and/or change your jetting. Go here for additional information: http://sportsterpedia.com/doku.php/techtalk:evo:carb02
