Last night I was riding and found that I was running 13,000 RPM in 6th doing 110. I believe it was 6th since I couldn't shift up anymore. What is the problem? I know the F4i can go faster than that. I'm going to check my clutch adjustment tonight when I get home from work. I have a 04 F4i with 609 miles on it if it helps.

Either you weren't in 6th or you got a glitch in the tach or speedo -- no way to do 13K in 6th at only 110mph unless you got some really odd gearing.

That's the problem, the bike is completly stock except for the lights and I had to change the levers. It is still under warrenty so I was going to run it by the dealer and let them look at it if the clutch adjustment doesn't do it. I had to change the levers because of a fall over in my driveway. It hit just right and bent the lever.
