Default Raptor 660 sputtering

Today I put a new clutch in my Raptor. I also removed the parking brake and the clutch safety switch and put on a new clutch perch. The parking brake rev limiter switch was removed also. I did everything just as I was told. The rev limiter switch I unplugged and taped up the plug and the clutch switch I unhooked and then reconnected the two plugs left in the harness. I went for a test ride and the clutch engages like it should. It will shift through all the gears like it should but it is sputtering at higher rpm's in every gear. It will set and idle great. I have read about problems like this with the reverse rev limiter but it also involved the reverse light flashing. My light is not flashing. This is also the first time it has been ridden after setting all winter. Could it be bad gas maybe or dirty carburator. Any info is appreciated. Sorry for the long winded explanation, just want to give you all the info.

The reverse switch could possibly be the problem. But if this bike has set up all winter then yeah, you might have bad gas, carb problems and probably wouldnt be a bad idea to change the spark plugs. If I had to guess, I would say its in the reverse switch. Im not familiar with what all is involved in removing one but sounds right to me. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Man, I'm not sure, but I THINK that you need to disconnect the wire (green and white) that is directly under your gear shifter. You need to make sure you ground it as well.
