    I have faced the same problem in my bike. Is your bike having the new type of carburettor or the old type of carburettor. If it is the old type then it is the reason for your power loss. I nearly struggled for more than 2 months before pin pointing the actual culprit. In fact I have changed - air filter, Spark plug, Spark plug cap, ignition coil. Cleaned the tank twice. Cleaned the carburettor twice. Atlast one of my friend who was working in Yamaha told me that the old type of carburettor was having some design flaws which might shows up at about 30K to 50K Kms. He told me to change the carburettor to the new type with the return throttle cable. And Voila my problems suddenly disappeared. The carburettor along with throttle cables, switch set in the right side of the handle bar and the throttle grip - Rs. 3500
    man i hope its not the carb. Mine is 2011 model, don't know about the carb gen.
    Impure petrol can also cause such problems, right. This is what i think has caused this. I did a tankfull and the problem started since then. Have again did tank full today from a reputed pimp, lets see how the bike fares tomorrow.
    else you all have told me what to do kharcha $#%&#

    Cheerz!!
    I just checked for moisture. The shops are closed for the last two days here (eid occassion)

    Check air filter, spark plug, AFR, fuel impurity, carburater (extreme & consistent case)
    Me too. Wanting to upgrade for long now.
    apart from carb, all were checked 3 days back.

      Mine is Sep 2010 model so I think it is the old caburettor. I hope and pray the petrol is the culprit.

        First of all... Reputed "pimp"?? I'm sure you meant pump!! No offence... Just kidding!

        Anyway if you feel that your fuel lines may be clogged due to impure fuel, then I suggest cleaning them using System G or System 23.
        Try two tank-fulls with that. See if it improves the situation as replacing your carb for the newer one would cost a lot.

        Cheers!!

          Haha. ya, PUMP was it.

          Actually i was thinking about the same. Cleaning the tank and fuel lines.
          Yesterday i rode back to jammu from kashmir, it was much better than before and it got better in the plains.
          Dirty fuel + high altitude might be the culprit. I hope its just this, not the carb
          ---------------------------
          Btw, got a mileage of 35-36km/L throughout the trip of around ~800kms. Mainly due to riding under controlled speeds in the hills.
          This bike of ours struggles in high altitudes..

          Ride safe and have fun.

              The newer Mrf's Revz-m has got some design changes particularly to prevent the tyre from getting flat and chicken stripes you can have a look at this newer version.I think M stands for medium compound.

              You can also take a look at Michelin pilot street, or if you want more advice then contact to bro Divyanshp150 on this site, as he is has got whole lot of knowledge of tyres.

                              Ya, it a beautiful place to be during summer time.

                              I just like the naked kinda look without the cover. i haven't installed the cover for nearly two years now.

                                How long does the bike's chain last, as without the chain cover chain takes lot of hammering, although the half chain cover dosen't protect chain much but still.
