A buddy has an 05 900 RMK good for 3 seasons so far but this year first trip runs like crap, won't pull over 6K RPMs changed plugs ran ok for 3 minutes then same again. Took it to RidenHide didn't find anything. Compression is good, 135ish both sides. Any ideas? (sorry for the sketchy details, wasn't there to see it).

Did you possibly put it away without fuel stabalizer so that now the carbs have varnished up. If this is the case take off the carbs and give them a good cleaning.
Thats possible. (not my ride) aren't those 900's fuel injected?

too much oil maybe fouling the plugs? I know the oiler cables have a tendency to come apart and the oil runs wide open. My dealer noticed my cable was frayed when I had it in a month ago and replaced it. There's a guy on SW Fatboyzfrenchy that is working on a better cable for the 900's.
Here's a link - 05/06 900 IQ Oil Pump cable solution is coming soon - SnowTalk
