Very Very Slow KZ1000P 06 Oct 2006 15:47 #82315

moosevegas Topic Author Offline User Posts: 6 Thank you received: 0	Hello Fellas, I have a 1993 KZ1000P. This bike starts up on the first try and will run all day long. The only problem is that it will not go over 50mph. It will take off from a stop and blow away every car truck and motorcyle on the road, but once I hit 50 mph, that's it. Any suggestions? Thanks, MooseVegas
