Hello, please ask for everyone's contribution, today it happened to me to open the full throttle, I reached 202 km/h and the engine made a "vacuum" and dropped to the speed of 190 km/h then it came back up again at 202 km/h and again a "vacuum" like slippage in the transmission but without noise or jerks, I've always kept the gas all open... I found another free road and opened the throttle again and it happened again. The engine runs well, the bike is as if nothing had happened, no warning lights and nothing else abnormal. I always ride it without TC, on the transmission I have 16/42.
I admit that it is the first time in 10000 km that I have found plenty of way to open all the throttle... Maybe it's a bit "tied"?
 
Ok maybe I found the problem, so I'll answer myself 😂, probably it's the engine rev limiter... I'll try to change the limit to TRIP 1 (from 8000 to 9000 rpm) and TRIP 2 (from 9000 to 10000 rpm)... Carefully, I don't need to blow up the cylinder for 4 or 5 km/h more, just eliminate the vacuum and loss of power
 
Sure, you just hit the rev limiter. It’s basically the same as revving your bike to the max in neutral, but instead of cutting the power instantly, it’s doing it in 6th gear with dropping horsepower and torque, so it takes a bit longer to recover and hit the limiter again. Either way, better not do it too often or you might permanently lose some horsepower.
