I have a 2002 Wing with 55000 miles on it. Up until about a year ago I usually got about 40mpg. (I'm a daily commuter, ~ 75 miles / day mixed highway and about 20% city driving). Since then the mileage has been decreasing, running about 32 mpg now. The bike has had regular oil/filter changes, and I replaced the plugs and air filter last month - no effect on the gas mileage. Other than the mileage the bike runs okay - anybody have any advice on what might be going on / needed additional maintainence? Thanks

Here's a popular website for your bike. I'd try your post there; I'm sure you'll get a lot of very specific answers on things to check.

I was expecting that you would tell him to soak it in warm salt water.

That's usually only for suspected electrical problems. I typically recommend a propane torch for fuel related issues.

Turn off the donut maker.

That is the funniest thing I've seen in months.

Turn off the donut maker.

Is that in the bag with the blender or the one with the bread maker?

55000 miles might mean you're having to give it more throttle to make it move like it use to. You might want to give it a compression test. And does a 2002 have carbs or fuel infection? If it has carbs, a peek at the needle valves in the floatbowls might be in order....
