Hornet 250 problem

[Shiftlight]

My hornet bogs down after 10,000 RPM, It's like the bike just doesn't want to open up and breathe. I have been told this is a carb issue. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Try ride past 10,000rpm with the fuel cap sitting ajar. If that works fine, your fuel tank breather is blocked. If not it could be carb related.

Dirty, blocked air filter?

tired spark plug?

spark plug cap or lead shorting out ?

make sure basics are ok before fiddling with carb.......

Yep. Been there with my CB400. Took three years to diagnose the problem.
