Some have tried taking out the air filter to allow more air flow into the carb, which has worked to some extent.
But i guess a different motorcycle would do the journey to the top just fine.

Not really, three of my friends did it on two Hero Honda CBZs and Hero Honda Karizma and they too had to push it up.

Main problem there is the nature of the terrain, tyres don't get much traction there, while four wheelers get more traction due to four wheels.
Recently a friend of mine and I did Sach Pass, a 14,500ft pass in Himachal where we had to constantly ride in first and second gears and even had to half clutch at quite a few sections with a few requiring us to even paddle with our legs. Something I never had to do at 17,000-18,000ft passes. All this while loaded jeeps were doing it without the need of engaging 4x4.
