It is running a little rougher than usual when she's warming up, but nothing a nice can of seafoam won't fix  (i love that stuff)
I blame stabil and the fact that I didn't drain the bowls in December... but I thought running the bike with stabil for a couple minutes was supposed to negate that 
ah well. All's well again. My 06 is up and running and the 09 I just picked up today is sitting right beside her
Thanks again! And as rynownd discovered as well, I think we can say that if your bike ain't running after a winter spell, check your bowls! Old and new gens! |
So wait.... Your starter cranks even with the kill switch off (or on, however you look at it)... I have an 07' and if the switch is off, it won't crank.... strange
