I don't buy the engines losing power gradually thing.
There is two things I don't buy. Sex and Water. Both should be free! :blink1:
as a engine gets older and more miles on the clock, you get carbon build up on the piston, valves, combustion chamber, bearings wear out and all this adds to power loss, clean ya pistons, new valve's and clean the combustion chamber. lol also check clutch for wear and tear! that's where you'll notice power drop
at college we had a small bike dyno and we had 2 honda cbr 600's with roughly same miles one we used engine cleaner the other we near enough did a engine rebuild will all oem parts, the rebuilt bike gained almost 20% of it's power back, the "engine cleaned" bike only gained 5% of power back. if you have the time, space and equipment it's worth doing

dyno tests prove that power drop does happen. top gear proved it too, we also proved it at college

I still don't buy the fact that engines lose it's power with age when there is plenty of preventative maintanance will stop it.
