Default new RC8R owner few ?s

Hi everyone, Im gary from the detroit MI Area. I just bought a 2010 RC8R about two weeks ago. It has the club race kit with akrapovic evo4. Im having a problem with it missing at around 8000rpm under full throttle after 8 it smooths out
It has the ktm factory tune for the club race kit Im running 110 TURBO BLUE engine temp was 147* and the ambient air was 46* it has about 700 miles on it and I took it easy until 600. Any ideas?

I have the same set-up , Never had a miss but do have a lost idle problem , Wont idle if I dont let it idle and warm up until at least 190deg temp or do the 15min reset .. Never had the problem until they added the KTM factory software upgrade ,,, Think they have some bugs in that set-up , Then the factory change up on the 2011 so no one really cares about the 2010`s anymore ...

Yeah I always let it idle and warm up to about 190-200 before I ride it but on the freeway it cools off. Its weird like a heavy hesitation. Im gonna change out the plugs and see if that helps at all. Also is it common for the neck bearings to loosen up it doest shake but it has a clunk over bumps

Dont know about the head bearings ,,never had that happen ,,Have you tried the 15 min reset and see if you still have the running problem ?

You just start it with out touching the throttle and let it run over 15 mins suppose to reset the computer .
