3rd gear - rev. stops at 10

I have an 02 r6. last year i had the carbs cleaned and recalibrated. this year i had some problems initially with the bike running in cold weather. the bike would occassionally kill itself while it was in neutral. it would also randomly feel as though gas wasn´t getting to the necessary location. also, the bike was running rich, but i never had any issues with back firing or anything of the sort. replaced the plugs, fuel filter and air filter. now the bike runs fine except for 3rd gear. as i open the bike up, if i´m in 3rd, the highest i can get the rpm´s is 10 when redline doesn´t even start till 15. this also prevents the bike from going any faster. does anyone know what could be wrong???
