First off what gearing does it have ?? , not sure i would ever see a 250X go past 70 with stock gearing , and i think that would be pushing it , a stock 450X (stock gearing) will barely go above that (stock my 450X went about 83) , i am geared down 1 tooth so a 13/52 instead of the stock 13/51 and i top out about 75 , which i believe is where the 250X is geared (13/52)so i don't see any speeds higher than that
As for hitting the limiter at 9,000 , it could be a issue with the TPS , maybe its not advancing the ignition enough because of a setting or its going bad
Could be a lot of things , need more detailed specs as to the bike (and its history and mods if any , jetting , elevation , etc, valve lash , if possible , all can help determine the issue your having with reaching the RPM the bike should)

Put in something closer to a 152 main. That will be close enough to rule out jetting as the problem.

That bike came with a 125 main jet from the factory, I think, and I tuned one at 5,000 feet on a dyno where the A/F ratio was measured, not guessed at, and it wanted a 148 main.
A main jet is cheap, takes 5 minutes to change, and may be the source of poor drivability at high rpms when you are 10 sizes too rich.

The engineers who wanted to put in the proper 152 jets were over ruled, but they published a paper telling us how to uncork them to run.
