Okay well I've tried Redex to see if that'd help and it didn't also filled the tank up so it defo has petrol in :P
My problem is in EVERY gear when I hit high revs just below where I need to change gear where all the decent power from my bike comes from, it just sputters and sputters and sputters and won't do nothing just feels like its out of petrol but its obviously not so I have to go up a gear for it to do anything or drop my revs.
No Black smoke not that I've noticed of. Doesn't really smoke either when its doing it.
try draining the float bowl on your carbs sounds like you got some water or silt in them
this will lift when the revs are high causing them to temp block the jets that is of corse if its carb not injected

I had a flake of crap in an amal carb on my commando once. it was a single corb setup with a 2 into 1 manifold. tick over and low range revs fine but as soon as i opened it up flake covered main jet and cut fuel off. soon as revs dropped it picked up again.
Has it just started doing it, is there a restrictor in it. If it does it at the same revs. in each gear and you can not ease it past by rolling of the thorttle a bit then it has to be an electrical fault, start with the spark plug.
Paul before you spend money ata garage, check the spark plugs, the spark plug colour and or any residue present can indicate what’s wrong with your engine. Search the internet for a colour chart but it can tell you if its running too rich, lean, oil burning etc

...... usually spluttering engine will be lack of fuel or restricted air if it is only happening at high revs
....Remember a dirty air filter will reduce the air, making the mixture to rich.
hope this helps..
fuel injection is under presure all the time matt then a solaniod opens at the right time to let the fuel in to the manifold
they can get bloked mostly hapens in multi jet injetion systems like in your car ect usualy shows as a puff of white smoke with diesel engines
but with the weather being cold it most likely that the water in the air has condenced in water droplets and run down the tank into the fuel line
this as blues said sits in the bottom of the bowls and get sucked up at righ revs
simple to clear no garages needed just find the drain on the bottom of the carb normaly with a rubber pipe leading from it
useing a pozi driver undo screw a few turns let it run fuel onto the ground for a few seconds then tighten up (out side in open air not in house or garage)
then go try if it stil dose it then fuel line may be blocked but i would then start looking at spark plugs too as you going to be taking bike apart then
we have that on planes, always have to drain the tanks (wings) and carbs every morning before the first flight. Then check the condition of the fuel to see if there's water in it

I love it when pilots try to talk technical.
Usaul pre-flight checks are "make sure you siiting the right way round" and " move all the switches untill the bloke outside stops waving and shouting" oh and "don't forget your rayban aviators".
