Ive recently come bk from a tour around France which was amazing but have since realised that my bike is not the same after thrashing it around for a couple of weeks. I am having problems with acceleration, it seems that when i am sitting at 80mph i am revving at about 6000 revs, if i then open up the throttle all the way to overtake, it quickly revs up to 8000 with little change in pace then falls bk down to 7000 and accelerates normally. I have been told this could be to do with the clutch but not sure. Any ideas?
