i have an xs 850 triple it pops, bangs, and lacks power above 5 1/2 thousand revs .timing is ok carbs are balanced. any ideas(help greatly received)

Hi, Sounds like air is leaking in around the gaskets for the carbs or maybe a vacum leak, over tightend carbs or flanges, could be electrical as well, check your charging system, loose wire could effect how the power is recieved to the coils, check the spark plugs for proper gap - excces build up may make it act up when in higher revs.

My first thought made me think of the air leaking in some were around the carbs or gaskets though.

Hope I am of some help to you
