No. Assuming that you are the first owner and it is still bone stock, you should not be having as much trouble as you seem to be describing.
It will NOT pull a hill in 5th at less than 55 mph; it just won't, meaning it won't maintain speed. Even at 60, you will probably lose a few MPH. If you can attack the hill at 65 (or more) you should pull it just fine, with minimal loss of speed.
Try a couple of tanks of regular gas. Consider using synthetic motorcycle oil. Other than that, just down shift when needed.......and stay off roads where you NEED to maintain a speed faster than 55 to stay alive.
The "average" fuel mileage seems to be around 65-70.
