i will guess you ment 90 miles a tank?
well if you put in a K&N maybe you didnt hook something up right or,were a victim of the infamous over oiled air filter.
go back and check your plugs...

Rule #1 with K&N get some of that BS red oil off the filter before install.

you changing the oil from brand A to Brand B isnt going to do that to your mileage.

That kind of change is HUGE. Not going to be due to chain slack, tire pressure, oil, some might be due to over oiled filter, though that will make the bike run so rich that if it burns that much gas you will see smoke in the exhaust. Most likely cause is either a change in driving habits or, more likely, bad book keeping.
