Have you changed anything. Fitting bigger tyres makes a big difference to performance. If you haven'y the check all the obvious- blocked air filter, air in take. Oil /water etc. I don't know of any common power loss faults but look at all the usual first.

mine lost power and then packed up altogether, It was a blocked cat due to the precat breaking up and blocking it.
