This is getting interesting! Let's see who can read my mind....

gregp ... This sounds very much electrical. I would check closely all of your connectors, ground terminations, and wiring harness...

There's an easy way and a hard way....

patrol21...Wouldn't he be having this issue all thru the range if it was an electical conntection?

Not necessarily.

gregp...And you made me think that this might even be a bad battery problem, as our bikes seem to be very succeptable to any weakness in the system. A weak electrical system will usually give you symptoms at lower rpm's first...

Probably not the battery unless that's had a recent failure.

patrol21...since the bike dumps at aprox 2K, have you pulled a plug to see if you get a weaker spark at lower throttle? ...

Getting warmer!

<Raucous Beeeeep> Good one, but there's no ECU or relay on these bikes. No smiley for you!

Wombat...Since the alternator does not 'kick in' until about 2k rpm, the ignition would be running on the battery alone under that and there may not enough power there to keep it alive.

Definately warmer!
Obviously I'm having a bit of fun with y'all, but you're thinking along the right lines.
Of course, I could be totally wrong in my analysis. I seem to remember that happened once before, some years ago...
