1st thought in my mind is an air leak, or plugged fuel filter.

How long have you owned this bike? How long had it run well before this happened?

Seems all oke...it just doesnt want to run faster than 1200rpm. Thought about the throttle position switch...but no.

Seems to have been a problem with the connector of the FI computer, after reconnecting it, she runs again...
