Double check your cam timing, iginion timing and the centrifical advance. Sounds like it's a little retarded or not advancing.

After checking all ignition parts, check color of plugs and make sure it isn't running to lean. This will cause a loss of power, and possibly hole the pistons.

my bike only does 90 my old superhawk used to
