Had similar symptoms. Bike lost power at a certain rpm (around 6000). One jet was blocked. A good carb-cleaning did the job for me.

Good to see you’re still on here Gnasher.
We have a sonicator here at work which cleaned a completely blocked pilot jet last time around. I might just take them all out this time and run them through the machine.
FOR GOD SAKE RIDE THE DAMN THING!!!!
