I recently rode a CB500 that had a serious oil leak (don't ask). It showed the same smyptoms, a lack of power approx 5-6k RPM and above. Low oil pressure does that.

I changed the oil filter (it had a hole in it!!) and filled it up with fresh oil, and it rev'd happily to the redline pulling all the way.

Just a thought...
