Ok i'll have ask .... Does it have a p/c and a map ? what pipe ? If it has a P/C unplug it and see how it runs .. If it runs better you have a p/c or map problem ... I have yet to hear a about a zx14 pump going bad , seems more likely to be something that was added to the bike and not factory parts ..

i ran 115 mph with tsukigi map and 119 with brocks map. you could have lost your pc map if you got an aftermarket exhaust
