Drained old gasoline out of the ninja today..
Because of a bad tire issue and getting fed up, I haven't touched my ninja in over a year. Today I was in town with it and decided to try and get her back running again...first step was getting rid of this, what (use to be) gasoline. Doesn't look like good gasoline to me, folks.
For those curious, the tire issue is still plaguing me. The rear has a vertical wobble to it after installation of a new tire, almost like if one spot of the tire was higher than the other, it gives the appearance of it "hopping" when spinning.

This was without anything, just plain ol' unleaded fuel. Probably worth quite a bit due to the rising gas prices here, though!
Unfortunately, I live about an hour away from where the bike is stored, and haven't gotten to work on it at all since last year, when I purchased and had new tires installed. Luckily, I drained the fuel out of the carbs before storing it (don't remember doing it, but ok!) , and it doesn't look like i'll be tearing apart the carbs again this year. |
