Bike 4 sale '00 katana buyer wrecked it broke the clutch wont start ican pull it to get in neutral but it won

im on my second rc51 the first was a 2000 and riding agresively in the mountains in 1-3 gear it would stay around 210-215 but when you get back on a strech of road for about 10 miles it would cool down to 185 in 80 + weather
My current 03 stays at 200 -205 riding the same roads but i am using a few new products in the bike go to pro-blend.com and check out their products I am running the sport compact oil additive 6 oz in the crankcase its about $8.00 and i am running the -40 degree coolant additive with distilled water now i see about 175 on the road these are both avail at oreilly auto or advance
I also lined the bottom of the tank with some heat shield from dennis kirk so my nuts are not roasting any more most of the heat goes out the back of the bike instead of heating up the fuel tank
14000 miles on my 2000 and 7 sets of tires
5500 miles on my 03 and 3 sets just spooned on some M3's

210 sounds pretty low...
