Default Bike losing power

okay I can't seem to find out what's wrong with my bike when at low rpms and high reves its fine but when you ride it and get the rpms up it seems like they just drop and want to cut off. I tried replacing the battery and it still does it because i had the same problem but the battery was a bad battery and it cause my old bike to do the similar thing.

Could be a carb issue. When was the last time they were looked at?

most likely fuel supply. does it feel like its running out of gas? sounds like its using more fuel than it can replenish in the bowls.

that, or it's not delivering a good mixture at high rpms.

Bike is hesitating...

1. Pull the plugs? how it look?
2. Check carb? Get is clean...how fuel filter look?
3. Check intake, air filter clean?
4. Check your R/R...heard that has been a problem with Hondas & many members here must replace them...

I say start checking the easy trouble shoot first before digging deep into the carb...if bike needs new spark plugs anyway, change it first and see if it helps.

Oh, a weak fuel pump too?
