But it took a bit to get her going.. Need a new batter. But once I did! O Man!! Mid May is the time. Road sweeps are all done. No gravel to contend with. Time to Rock & Roll! Thought I would share my first startup of the year!
Anyone else? There's gotta be more then just me firing up for the first time this year. Lets make this a sound a like to this old video.. But For This 2017 Riding year! Any Takers??
Guilty! Pushed her out, kickstand down, gas on, choke on, and 2 quick push of the starter button and she came to life! Took her on a 10 mi. "around the block" and changed her oil.
When I winterized it I used Supertech (Walmart brand) fuel cleaner/stabilizer and installed new NGK Iridium plugs. After about 1 1/2 mi. thre was no lag etc. like a tank of Stabil would. Another words, all systems up to speed! The battery is a 10 1/2yrs. old.
I've been slowing disassembling my friends kawasaki vulcan all winter and just started putting it back together. Adjusted the valve shims while trying to diagnose his massive oil leak. I think we traced it down to a badly corroded valve cover Hoping to get his bike running today so I can pull my Shadow out of the shed and get that going.
