Do you take the injector out and clean it in the tank too?

What kind of cleaner did you add to the water?

I removed everything from the TB, so I didn't clean the injectors, but I could have. We knew the obstruction was in the high idle circuit, so we focused on the TB only. I used a fuel system/carburetor ultrasonic concentrate from Amazon. I've heard that Simple Green HD is very good too, and cheap

Just back from the first ride of spring. 50 plus miles round trip to get parts for the chain saw. It even rained!

Happy camper, but my right leg doesn't like being tucked up for an hour, and, my riding coat is getting tight around the waist! Now how did that happen? It fit when I hung it up last fall ;-)

Yes. I rode yesterday to pick up some samples of maple for cabinets. Somehow it took me tree hours and unknown miles to make it there and back. Along roads through the mountains I had not been on before. Man what a glorious place to live! Highland Cnty, Va

I could have written the same about my ride today. Was on a road I hadn't been on before, and less than 15 miles from home.
A glorious place to live Windham County Vermont! ;-)

Seems to be very much a cruiser crowd here. Owned an HD Roadster for a while.

My first bike was a '79 Suzuki GS750

Second bike was an '83 BMW.

My first "adult" bike was the same Suzuki GS750. Same color. It was the 1981 (or was it 82)... with the square head light. It was the red paint, the 16 values, the long seat and square head light that stole my heart. I still to this day think about how gorgeous that bike was. Out the door, brand new, about $2600.00, if I remember correctly. It was a fast one too.

I'm fixing to ride the 20 miles over to the nearest motorcycle shop and purchase or order a replacement front tire for the VFR.
I put the Dunlop Mutant on the back last summer, guess I'll try the front now.

These dirt back roads get slick when it sprinkles, and I'm not as quick as I once thought I was.

Some righteous wisdom, Right There ^ !

Recent post about mc's being inefficient (often leading to finding the longest way to get A-B), had me looking for a Family Circus cartoon to post, but only found what I wanted in some weird format TBN does not like....

Those of Us, of a Certain Vintage, May Remember....

Mom sends Billy next-door, to borrow a cup of sugar, next frame is the dotted-line map of all the things Billy had to check out in the 'hood, before going next door.....

That strip made me smile back when, and now, but not as much as riding an MC does !
