    R15 V2 top speed problem

    My bike doesn't go over 115-120km. I used to get 135-140km. All seems okay but in 5th and 6th gear, RPM doesn't go over 9000. If I pull the clutch, then it goes over 9000. My rpm doesn't want to go over 9000 from 5th gear, and speed increases very slightly. And my throttle also reacts slightly late. Bike performance decreases rapidly when riding with pillion.

    Can someone please tell me what is the problem with my bike?

    BTW my weight increased from 65 kg to 80kg. I always used Mobil 1(10w40) engine oil. And I maintained tyre pressure 35-45.

          Bro, prolonged usage at high rpms causes excessive wear on all moving parts.

          Before diving in deep, check the basics. Fuel level, air filter, spark plugs, injectors and others.

          Rev the engine while the bike is stationery. It should rev above 11.5k rpm. Then go full throttle in 2nd gear and see if the engine redlines without lagging power. Check for smoke from the exhaust.Hope this helps.

          There is no such thing as a bad motorcycle, it all depends on how you ride it.

            Change the air filter and check. Then we will go into other areas if that doesn't correct the problem.

                Air pressure is on the higher side. The correct reading is on your bike's swingarm. Did you fill up from a shady fuel pump? Try to fill up at a better fuel pump.

                Changed every 1000 kms? That's too early for Mobil 1 engine oil.
                Chain slackness also makes a huge difference. Try to see and get it checked and corrected if needed.

                    Tyre pressure is on the higher side.
                    The manufacturer recommended is 28 front 32 rear.

                      Change your clutch plates ,these are symtoms of worn out clutch plates.

                        Check the compression of the engine, clutch and pressure plates, and check the free play of the clutch first of all. Once i noticed such problem with my bike and found that clutch was too tight...

                          FYI stock R15 v2 has rev limiter at 10.5k rpm. So, it will not rev above 11.5k.

                              Before opening any thing with your bike Check with Fuel Injector cleaner liquid either Stp / Liqui moly / abro if your bike has Fuel injection system other wise carb cleaner..

                              As you have done 10k cloaked too low ride and left idle in 2 years so there must be some fuel sludge is gathered inside fuel injection system. 10K km cloaked bike do not have much wore and torn issue with some inside components other than rubber components..

                              This additive will mostly clean full injector system to some what level. After pouring 1/4th or 1/3th bottle to full tank - ride bike with some 40 to 60 kmph speed range for 100 to 200 km.. Difference is easily noticeable after 50 km of ride...It smooths the engine/revs/ throttle response. ( refer manual for mixing fuel + fuel additives from respective brands)

                              I have been using Carb/Fuel Injector cleaner additive together with fuel every 9k to 10k km range, till 90k cloaked never clean carburetor ever and still getting same mileage and performance..

                              Always fill Power / High octane fuel . Japanese auto manufactures always suggested to use High octane fuel. Even Honda Activa manual says to use High octane fuel.
