It's not something dumb like dirt in one of the jets or a blocked fuel tank air intake is it?

Hi Fan@ics!
This is just to have your opinion and maybe some help. My @ is a 1992 RD04 with about 50.000 km; it had neither crashes nor serious problems in the past
One month ago, I noticed that when I full throttled while riding the engine seemed to slow down, then it recovered in about 0.5-1 sec. and run. I noticed that mainly with low speeds (1°, 2° and 3°). The max speed decreased from 185-190 km/h to 160 km/h. I brought the bike to a garage: they told me the problem was in one of the carburettor membranes which was changed. I saw that part (never seen before!): about one half of the external side of that rubber "funnel" was wrinkled. The bike was then OK for 2-3 days (I usually ride 100-150 km per day) then that initial "hole" when throttling came back. The max speed was unaffected by the new membrane and remained the same (160 km/h). I brought the bike back. The guys reopened my beloved @: he told me that the carburettor floating part sometimes was blocked. That part was changed but again the bike wasn't OK. Yesterday I gave full throttle on the highway and reached about 170 km/h, then I slow down to 100 km/h for few km. I tried aga!
!
in to gave full throttle but the max speed was... 130-135 km/h! No way to have more. Max RPMs were about 6300/min in fifth speed. In lower speeds (1°->4°) with full throttle, RMPs were higher. The bike seemed to be clumsy... do you what I mean? This is our my story ends: my darling is now again at the garage and the garage guy knows I'm pretty fucking far from happiness....
Anybody of you ATICs can help? Any suggestion?
Thank you in advance!
