Default Bad Gas Milage

Hey,
I am only getting 30 to 35 mpg on my 2000 vz800. I was told it has a stage 1 jet kit, cobra exhaust, and stock air filters. I haven't heard of any bike getting this bad of gas mileage and with gas going up i need to fix it. I know it is running rich on one cylinder and probably due for an air filter change, but i dont think these would cause that much gas usage. It has new coil packs and new spark plugs. If you guys could point me in the right direction, i could use it.I really have no idea where to start
