My 3000-mile-old '04 BCR wouldn't pull over 130 when I first got it. Remedy? Take it out on some long runs and give it a sound thrashing.
A couple of weeks ago, with around 4500 miles up, it pulled to the limiter in top.
From having had experience of more than a couple of Oilhead Boxers, it would appear that they run better when given a good seeing-to on a regular basis.
What richard said(gromit).
Dont ride it to achieve maxium MPG.
Let the bugger redline a few times and all should be well.
That said,i take it the bike is in good tune?

Oh! boys.. thrash it a couple of times..it gets a good seeing to everytime

She's got 12,500 miles on her now, have had this problem since I got her.
I ride with a mate who's got a VFR800, and I HATE to let him pull away from me at 135...it's the only chance he gets mind, boxer outguns him any where, any gear...

Take care if you use the same time and route on your commuting thrash, it only takes on member of the Masonic persuasion with a hot line to the local Cheif Constable to get a speed trap set up just for you.
Long termers on here will remember a similar scenario with Tony Smith, formerly of this parish.

It's not how fast you ride, it's how you ride fast.
Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear
bright until you hear them speak.
