Yes, such issues could probably add up..
(Seems like you have an XL 250. I had an '84 XL 250 a year ago, when staying in San Diego. Great bike, great fun, that as well.)
Thanks for advice, from several people here. If i find that the performance improves, I'll report it here.
It's amazing how a clean and lube on the chain makes it roll easier when I walk with it.....nevermind if you are starting to get tight links on the chain. I also ran into my rear caliper not fully releasing (caliper piston was dirty) a couple years ago and it was making the bike feel sluggish.

I'm pretty pumped about the XL. I'm about a week away from getting it plated as it needs an inspection, but I'm close!
