Last week I bought a 2014 Kawasaki Ninja 300 crazy cheap because the owner started having problems with it; causing it to be unrideable. He had the bike for about 1 year and everything was fine until a month ago when the bike started bogging out on him. He mentioned that it starts up perfectly but as soon as he revs it or accelerates past 2.5-3k RPM's it (tries to) dies on him unless he eases off the throttle or shifts gear.

He started tinkering with it to see what was going on and he realized the air filter had disintegrated and more than likely went into the engine. He still rode around with it under 3k RPM but the issue didn't go away so he listed it for sale.

I'm going to get to work this weekend on it to see what was going on and see if I can figure out the issue. Where do y'all recommend I start? What do you think might be going on?

Thanks!
