By the way, you did buy my old bike with the leak at the rear balance shaft. Hopefully the guy you bought it from who was selling it for the guy who bought it from me told you of the leak.

The Krypt Keeper Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 could of been some water in the tank and it finally got set free into the fuel system and caused hesitation. Alot of condensation will form now as the season is getting to be warmer in the days and cooler in the nights. Would also run some seafoam through it as that bike has sat some for its age and mileage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
