  • new to site sputter at 6000 rpm

    Not sure what to post to couldnt find mechanics 101 that I saw on other ppl.s anyways riding my first bike this year it is a 2001 katana 600 got it 2 months 3 months ago with 21000 miles on it ran good for first 2000 miles. I rode it 250 miles 6 hours of almost straight riding except to get gas about half way through the ride it started sputtering I ran zome lucas in the tank last week then brake lever broke so it sat for a few dayz started it a little smoke came out of tail pipe yesterday I replaced the lever tightened the chain and did a oil and filter change the sputtering is better but still there in all gears between 6 and 7000 rpms before I bought also had needles and carbs cleaned and suggestions would be great I get popping when releasing throttle after 7000 rpms it runs like a champ bought the bike used and dont know much about bikes got vance and hines full exhaust I beleive guy at motorcycle shop said its faster then most katana 600s he has ridden not much low end snaps loose around 7000 rpms and all u seen is my tail light

    Have you replaced the fuel filters? Popping is a lean condition.
