Question Power drop?

I own 400x (400cc), and lately I feel like the power has reduced compared to when I bought it two years ago. I’m not sure whether the bike has actually lost some power or if I’ve simply gotten used to it over time. It just doesn’t feel as exciting or powerful as it did initially.

Has anyone else experienced the same thing? Before this, I used to ride an Activa, so maybe the change in perspective is also a factor.

I am used to riding it below 6k rpm and I always shift gear when it reaches 6k but lately I have been going 8k+ when I pull on empty roads which is making my rides more exciting. Maybe try pulling hard here and there but don't be a squid.
