My Ducati ST2 will not give more than 4000 RPM!

Suddenly the Ducati will not work above 4-5000 rpm.
I have checked a lot, but still the engine will not run above 4-5000 rpm. Feel like it does not get gasoline.

I have done following:
-Checked all wire and connections -and spark plugs
-Open the tank and checked pump and filter (new)
-Measured the TPS (throttle control) and it gives 0,8v up to 4,8v at max opening as recommended.

ANY TIP ANYONE?

Compression: Not it because it runs. But I'd still check for power loss against book running pressure numbers..
Spark: Not it because it can run up to full advance at 4k.
Fuel: Bingo... weak fuel pump pressure. Cannot meet demand.
Hi my ST2 2003 did something similar by revving up to 3,000rpm then dying, the fault was my reg/rec failing as it would show good volts at idle up to 3,000rpm then drop to 3volts. I have upgraded to a mosfett reg/rec and after a bit of grinding was able to refit it into the airtake where mine was originally fitted.

So get running, voltmeter across the battery, rev the engine, Does it show over 13.8v? 14.4v? Then back to fuel.
