2008 Triumph Scrambler- dying at revs

Everytime I rev my 2008 carbed Scrambler over 2 or 3 thousand revs it stops providing power. The engine keeps going but there is no power until the revs drop under 3000.

Is there anything I should check before taking it into the shop?

A good place to attach your soft ties








sounds like an ECM issue....

Does a carbed bike actually have an ECM?

some reason, I read it as a Tiger..

maybe take the carb off and check to see what is being blocked.

does the throttle go all the way around?
Malfunctioning coil?

You should ask in the Scrambler thread in Beasts. That said, I am confused by your question - do the revs go up but the bike doesn't go faster, or does the bike just stop revving up?


Oh, and change your avatar please - it's very confusing.

The bike basically stops revving after 2 or 3 thousand revs.
