From what I read on the forum, there is a flat stop around 4.5k rpm. But it almost feels like there is traction control bogging the bike down when giving it a handful of throttle through those rpm. So you can see how severe it is. But other wise the bike pulls smoothly through the rest of the rpm range.
Not sure if this is just how the engine is or this might be a problem that should be looked into.
The bike only has 2800 miles when I bought it and it is now sitting at 3500, so it is barely broken in. FYI, it did have the fuel pump replaced back in 2010, probably because the previous owner did not store the bike properly (guessing it from the low mileage).

I had this problem with my old R1100S prep and with a BCR. I had bought the chip for the prep and the FRK for the BCR. Both worked well but favor the FRK overall for ease of install and results.
I was lucky enough to find a fully Farkled R1200S and install the FRK 2 as well getting rid of the canister. I should have had ridden the bike before I bought the FRK but couldn't pass up purchasing it on a good deal. So I don't know what i am missing but I have not witness this flat spot, it does start up easier and idle better.
