The symptoms of limited mode do sound very simialr to what i have but then so do the plugs, so i will try plugs as the first port of call, as you said, try the easiest one first.

If this doesnt solve the issue, what are possible causes for the bike to enter limited mode/ things i should look at, as i am gonna have a good session on it at the weekend and try and get it resolved

In my experience the bike will still run smoothly when in limited mode, albeit with less power. It doesn't sound like yours is limited.

Another here for plugs!

The only thing that will cause the bikes limiter to engage is if you disconnect the speedo or you hit 180km/h

About 2000 miles, and NGK, a known to be reputable brand, it now has denso plugs in it

Hmm, might want to look into the carbs if it happens again. Plugs should last longer than that.
