There a ton of possibilities… How long did the bike sit? When was the last time it ran good? Your pilot jets don’t sound like the issue. Does your carb have plastic floats? I had an issue with mine they are not cheap. The carbs would leak out the overflow on the bottom of the float bowl. Are your carbs dripping gas on the ground? It should leak gas out of the carb before it starts to enter the intake port. If gas entered your engine will have a high oil level and oil that smells like gas.

When the problem occurs pull your choke it see if it comes back around if it does its lean, If not you have other issues. Have you done any performance modifications to the bike?

I had an issue with my bike loosing performance around 6500rpm. After a lot of testing I found one coil was dropping spark at higher rpm. I bought two salvage yard coils and they both had high resistance on the primary side. The coil that fixed my problem had about 2.2 ohms on the primary side.

Does the bike idle well?
