Would of said a clogged up air filter but since you've checked that, next thing i'd say would be the fuel pump, it may need replacing.

Edit: IGNORE THE ABOVE, you're bike doesn't have a fuel pump. Sorry for giving wrong advice, hope u didn't waste time looking for a fuel pump for ur bike.

It's a small bike, at those speeds your probably getting an equal amount of fuel into the carb as the carb is using and therefore hit a peak in power as you cant get fuel in faster.

Try making the breather hole bigger so you get more fuel flow.

EDIT: When was the last time you went over 40?

hi i have been getting around 55-60 mph up until yesterday when the throttle is about three quarters turned i can get up to speed in the end but the last quarter turn the engine goes sluggish then if i turn the throttle back to three quarters the engine starts picking up again it started playing up when i put my fuel on reserve so i dunno if that had anything to do with it
