Restrictors finally come out...but need advice!

The restrictors finally came off today as I have had my licence 2 years.
I picked the bike from the garage and headed out with a friend for a test ride. As we went through town I kept it slow and the bike didn't feel any different from what it was before.
Once we got town out the way we headed to the A30. Onto the A30 and we were behind a car. I opened up the bike for an overtake and the revs picked up as normal. This time when I got to around 8000rpm the bike started to pull hard, by the time I got to 12000rpm I was passed the car and as I pulled back in I was right up the butt of the car infront. It was bloody awesome. After passing about 5 cars along the A30 I was smiling from ear to ear.
It's like having a new bike and all I want to do is ride it!!
The only thing I did notice was that when I was in top gear the bike would lose power at around 100 mph but the bike would slow down to around 80mph. It's as though not enough fuel was getting through. The only way to get it going again was to roll off the power for a few seconds. I am thinking that it may be flooding or not setup properly. The most I have got out of it was 110mph.
I wound the throttle slider in on the back of the throttle and this has stopped it from loosing power but it won't go much over 105mph now. Any ideas? It's an import but the bloke said it had been de restricted at the clocks and as I said it slowed right down to 80 mph so I don't think that is the problem.
Just to add, the bike had lost power a few times before even when the restrictors were in
