Needle advice

[coopernicus]

What 2T oil are you using in your gasoline? We have found some "lesser known" oils will cause the motorcycle to run poorly at low engine speeds. Motul at 50:1 always runs well for us.

Another issue we have had is with older filters breaking down and obstructing air flow and/or holding on to water after washing the motorcycle. Check your filter and maybe try starting with the filter off the motorcycle (do not ride it without the filter).

The final issue we have had is after washing or riding through water, electrical connections get contaminated with water. Check each connection, clean with a spray electrical contact cleaner, and use dielectric grease to properly reconnect. One rider in our group had an electric horn go bad and the bike would not start.

Good luck!
