Bike struggles when punching it

Got a question for everybody. My 04 gsxr 1000 struggles when I really get on it. It usually happens in the triple digits. I'll be in 3rd gear going over 100 mph and when I give it full throttle it doesn't pull hard like it used to. I changed the spark plugs thinking that might be the problem but still the same result. A buddy told me it could be my throttle bodies. The engine has about 30,000 miles on it so I don't know if it could be time for a new one. Any suggestions? I want my baby to purr like it used too. Help!!

My FI light is not on but I forgot that my friend said it could be my fuel pump too. Either way I'll go and get it checked out. Thanx.

Re: Bike struggles when punching it

update your thread when you figure it out. I hate when people dont post the answers! If you wanted to check the general "condition" of the engine you can get a compression guage for cheap, or borrow one. Ive never done it to a bike but its cake im sure.
