My experience is completely different. On both my leh attempts I found pulsar to be performing very badly. So much so that on first trip the 150 dtsi absolutely gave up and we had to send pillion to leh on a truck.
My unicorn too had power loss but easily took a pillion to leh.
Second time I had K&N in it with a stock jet and it ran beautifully. Took rider and pillion both above 70kgs plus loads of luggage easily and also outgunned a superbly maintained and jetted for hills bullet standard with lighter rider/pillion on moor plains. Almost touched 100 there.
If your bike is jetted rich on plains especially in the initail (pilots + airscrew) and midrange (mainjet?? or is it needle position?) than it will perform poorly on higher altitude. A lean bike on plains performs great in hills.
