    Its normal wear and tear on the bike. Motors get tired after a lot of miles, theres no way around it.

    You should not be servicing your bike that often anyway. Normal service on your bike should be about every 6000Km (oil change and general tune up).

    You may want to have your valves adjusted soon, if you havent yet. Your first valve adjustment should be due around 11-12000 km. This may be why your mileage is deteriorating.

    hi friend,

    You have maintained ur bike very well but sometimes the mileage also depends on the usage of clutch... maybe ur regular usage of bike is in traffic... My suggestion will be

    1) Change ur Clutch

    2) Engine oil should be changed after 2000kms

    as the engine gets older its effiency goes down... this is bound to happed .... may be ur servicing it regularly but some times the company tweaks here and there... as parts get older they should be replaced or cleaned regulary... try this
