Default Won't go over 100mph

I just got my bike a couple months ago and i just relized that once i get to 100mph my bike rears back as if its hit a fuel cutoff kinda like when you top out your car. I cant get ahold of the guy I bought it from so I was wonderin if you guys had any suggestions. I don't know if it matters but the bike has a 12in streach on it and the sprocket looks stock. Please help.

First of all you shouldnt be worring about that..100 mph isnt for the street.Save it for the track.Let me guess No gear to right?Why would you even wanna go over 100 mph on the streets?highest speed limit i know of is 65.

If it feels like it is running out of fuel you might want to start by replacing the fuel filter - that is an easy and cheap idea. Of course check all of the obvious things like ensuring the linkage and throttle are opening all of the way.

Take the morality police with a grain of salt, as long as you aren't endangering others that is all that matters....

If it feels like your "topping out" and not running out of fuel maybe your sprockets are not stock. Have you ridden another f4 before to compare it to?

Where are you located at?

I see you're in the NAVY so there is a possibility you are in my area, SE Va. - if you are you can compare it to mine....
