Default Mid-Range Power Loss

Need your help, but have very little info yet. I am going to help a friend with his 1995 EX500-D2, but could use some insight from you folks. I'm an old-school guy with all my experience in KZ's.

The complaint is he's experiencing power loss in the mid-range, low band and high rpm is fine. His comment is that the bike seems to "bog down" in the mid rpm range, then picks back up again when he passes 5-6K.

Do any of you have any suggestions where to start looking? He hasn't dropped the bike off yet, but I believe it's all stock. Someone mentioned jetting as a problem source, but I don't see why anyone would re-jet if the bike is stock? I believe the bike has Keihin CVK34 carbs, at least the 1996 model does.

Where should I start? Appreciate any insight and guidance.
