Default bad engine response, suzuki sv650 2016 model

for a few months now i´ve noticed my 2016 year model suzuki sv650 has a worse engine response than before.
for example in 6th gear the revs don´t get past 7800 rpm, and overall i´m noticing less power/torque, in 3rd gear it used to boost in the 5000 rpm area and then again near the 7000 rpm, not anymore .
this problem started about the same time i replaced de stock muffler for a GPR Ghisa muffler (maybe the problem is related to the muffler swap or jut coincidence?)
sorry for my bad english

First thing is try is sticking the stock one back on & see if you still have a problem.
You might need an hour on a Dyno to remap the fuelling for the new exhaust.

yes.. i´mf hoping its not the muffler.. the new one sounds and looks much better and cost 350 euros..
i was told remapping the fuel system is only necessary when changing the full exhaust system

How many miles have you done? When was the last service? The AL7 takes a unique NGK spark plug (4), have they been changed at the last service (some dealers don't do it - they cost £12 each). I am assuming you have no error codes. Has your fuel economy changed?
in 5th it revs a bit higher about 9000 rpm..( i´m guessing maybe the shop messed up fitting the muffler or the muffler as a defect)
i´ve done about 15000km (9400 miles)on the bike, bought it new
i´ve been to the dealer 3 times for regular maintenance but i think they haven´t changed the spark plugs yet (will have to check this).. i would be happy if that was the problem
(no error codes)
yes the fuel economy has changed but not significantly, from 4.2 liters/km to 4,3

i think so.. its the 2016 sv650 abs model..
the best fuel consumption i´ve had was 3,8ltr/km was taking it very easy on the throttle.. (this was before the issue after installing the muffler), i usually don´t drive fast but do accelerate when i have the chance
i´m taking the bike to another dealer, hope they find the problem.. someone also mentioned that perhaps i need to retune the ECU for this exhaust
in the other gears it revs a bit higher in the 9000/10000 rpm range..
i´ve thought about removing the baffle, maybe this weekend i will and see how it goes..
thank you
