Jono February 17th, 2013, 07:19 PM Nice choice!!
Be safe out there.
Motofool February 17th, 2013, 07:53 PM Ruby looks very clean and new !!!
I have a blue one.
The tires may need a retirement, they go hard in six years.
Replacing the coolant and brake fluid is good idea, those go bad with time.
Congratulations, Stephen !!!

'twas exciting, i rode within my skills and kept in the slow lane(for the most part :rolleyes:) and rode successfully. I love it! I even did a little bit of night riding around my neighborhood tonight. I just gotta work on my shifting a little and I'll be set. Also, i think i need to cleans the carbs a bit (boggs a little when applying quick throttle) but i thin k it's probably because it sat for a little while which explains the low miles.
JusticeWH February 18th, 2013, 11:16 AM Nice! Enjoy that awesome ride!
EternalNewb February 18th, 2013, 11:23 AM Congrats! Ride safe. Maybe I'll see you on the road sometime.

Try a bottle of seafoam in the gas tank.
choneofakind February 18th, 2013, 01:53 PM Buy some Seafoam and follow the instructions for mixing in a proper concentration with the gas in your tank. It might help clean up your carbs a bit
FTFY...
allanoue February 18th, 2013, 01:57 PM FTFY...
:thumbup:
StephenA February 18th, 2013, 02:58 PM that's what i was thinking, it's not too bad i messed with the idle screw today and it was a little better, so i think some sea foam will help it a bit. But I probably need to sync the carbs.
OCMagnum February 18th, 2013, 05:20 PM Congrats Stephen!
I know this has been a long time coming for you, so it must feel especially great now. Enjoy and be safe out there :thumbup:

IdRatherDrum February 18th, 2013, 09:47 PM Awesome! I am considering buying a pregen as my first bike just because I don't have much money. As much as I want an 08+....
