It doesn't take much on these bikes for a little extra rolling resistance to feel like less "power" when on the road.

Tire pressure and brakes should get a check.. Chain and sprockets are worn.
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.
