Hey guys, I have a 79' xs650 bobber. Today was my first time taking it on the freeway since I've owned it. I been cruising on local streets to brush up on my riding skills.
So when I get to 5th gear on the freeway, soon as I get to around ~60mph it starts cutting out like it's hitting the rev limiter "ta ta ta ta..". And it won't go any faster! I ended up having to exit the freeway to cruise on the local street.
Does my xs650 have a different gear setup possibly? I know there isn't any mechanical/electrical issues since I just got it back from my mechanic who did a complete tune-up, inspection, new pamco ignition system, etc. And the bike runs smooth, aside from not being able to go above 60mph.
Any ideas? Or what to check for?
Thanks!
