I have a Gilera DNA (de-restricted) and recently it doesn't accelerate past 50-60kph Crying or Very sad , however it used to run up to 80kph on the flat, its never had any problems running in the past, so does anybody have any ideas on how to get it running like it used too?

belts should last about 10k km, its mostly the gearing weights that sometime need replacing and the rear pully spring.

Best bet would be that the whole bike needs a service.

Has it been serviced? Most people think they just go on and on without maintenance. Bikes are like people, if you don't look after yourself, you get ill - same for a bike or anything.

Anyway, air filter changed? Exhaust decoked, spark plug changed?

How long do pistons/rings generally last on these things?
