08 RS Venture GT won't go past 5000rpm's

[DaddyWags]

So as stated above my 2008 RS Venture GT will not go above 5000rpm's. She starts great idles perfect but will not get above 30 mph. New gas, new plugs, fully charged battery. She went to sleep after last season running and operating perfectly. At one point on the choke if I play with the lever on the handlebar I can find a sweet spot that allows her to run above 5000rpm's but finding that sweet spot is extremely hit or miss.

Any and all suggestions are appreciated...

Thanks everyone,

Dig into the clutches.. sounds like it not shifting out or could be binding.

check clutches but if nothing is obvious there it sounds to me like it could be a carburetor problem. They probably need a good cleaning.
