Recently did some maintenance on my new to me 1500 drifter, and I notice a strange phenomena.  When I bought the bike it had been garage/barn stored for some time.  I fired it up rode it home (4.5+ hrs) at 70-80 MPH and got about 140mi before the gas light.  I pulled out the old air filter(dirty) and put in the new K&N, ran sea foam through the crankcase and drained the jet black oil, new plugs (OEM), new final drive oil, and 3 tanks of sea foam in the gas tank....now I get the gas light (same speed range)  at 116-120mi and a lot more backfire at decel.  My only thought is that gap on the plugs may be off (forgot to check) and I'm running rich, otherwise I'm a little confused.

Thanks in advance for the advice.
