acceleration problem

[steve-h]

just been for a spin on my bike as i haven't been out over the holiday
and seem to have a problem accelerating
in first,second gear gets to around 7000rpm and starts to feel like its spluttering and wont go any faster,almost feels like its hit a rev limit
its a 92 cbr600f
could it be the carbs need cleaning?

how much would a bike shop charge to clean the carbs?

Carbs very rarely need cleaning - only if they have been standing long enough for the fuel to turn to varnish (years) or they have gotten dirty (pouring mud into your fuel).

It's a CBR600, so reg/rec trouble is a possibility. Charge the battery and see if it improves.

Don't remove the carbs if you can avoid it.

just had the spark plugs out which were a nice brown colour
but one of them was only in finger tight
so cleaned them up and tightened them back in
will see tomorrow when i take her out for a blast
fingers crossed it was that plug but not holding my breath
