When I bought this bike I got about 45 MPG.  Now I get a little over 30 MPG and bike has now over 100K miles.  I know the fuel power density has decreased in the gas here in California, since I noticed similar but not as great drop in fuel mileage.  What would you think would be an expected fuel mileage for this age bike and if you have one, what do you get?

I have a few Ks, from 83 to 96, they don't like ethanol fuel and since we got E10 [10% ethanol] here it has really increased the fuel consumption, sometimes similar to yours. Depending on which one I took, I would get 10-12 miles per litre, now same bikes give me maybe 8-9 miles per litre and that's all with good systems, clean injectors etc.
