Hey all,

Took my first ride yesterday with snow still on the ground...was a balmy 46 degrees. The bike seemed sluggish...and slow on acceleration. Ya think it may be the gas is getting a little stale? I did put Sta-ble in it last Dec...I am going to pop the AC out and clean that out today as well...fresh royal purple oil and coat of wax....

 

Did you get it fully warmed up? ? ? How far did you ride? ? ? Doing your service will help, fresh gas too plus air up your tires.

 

It's the wax... the coefficient of friction on dust is just outrageous. Wash the ole girl and show her some love and you'll be back to normal..

 

my guess .the motor sumped up from sitting.....take it on a long ride

 

cool thanks for the advice......I will take her out and get rid of some of that old gas and get her good and warmed up!

 

Yes! Get rid of the old gas.

 

How much winter weight did YOU put on?

 

When did you last change your plugs? Pull em out, check the gap, for corrosion, etc...
