she wont rev out...
Johnniespeed:
I read on a different thread of someone having a partially clogged silencer, they cleaned and repacked it and power was restored.
I have also heard of others having a partially fouled plug and that causing problems.
The silencer can be taken apart on my bike, so this experiment would only involve time and not money, if you are grabbing at straws, perhaps you could have a look inside the silencer.
I had a red bike that only ran great when the transmission was empty and wouldnt rev up when the transmission was full, turned out to be a crank seal on the clutch side.
None of my statements are meant to be a diagnosis but rather some ideas to think about.
Hope you figure it out soon, keep us posted.

make sure you warm that thing up. sometime it takes me 5 or 6 minutes before i can really give it the gas. cold seize i think its called.
Grunty-Motor:
thanks for replies.
silencer is brand new and deffo not that.
have ordered a new plug and cap (just in case)
I am leaning towards the crank seals (was doing some more reading on it last night) - i just dont have anything to do a leak down test. might try running it with say 1/2 the tranny oil and see how it goes.
the more i think about the coil, the more i think its just giving it a stronger sparrk and masking the real issue.

I would also check to make sure the KIPS was installed correctly. You can put the right in the left and vice versa. I know, because I have done it. It had decent bottom, but would not rev out.
kxracer:
Try PJME in Wolverhampton, prices are good, service excellent. They also sell other spares.
Good luck
