I actually just had this problem with my bike. It was working fine one day, and then all of a sudden it started dying when it would get to 5k rpm.
Same issue, Idle was fine. I could get it up to about 8k - 9k with the choke fully pulled. Trying to accelerate in any gear, even in neutral would cause the bike to bog down and die as soon as it hit 5k rpm.
I ended up having to ride it using only the choke to keep the bike alive. Was really annoying trying to keep it between 3k and 6k.
Anywho, what I ended up doing was planning to do carb clean/rebuild. Later on I got lazy and decided to just try to run some seafoam through it and that cleared the issue up. On my next routine service (valve adjust, air filter clean, oil change) I'll probably take it off and clean it.
My throttle cables are also rather loose, I'll need to adjust them too.
