    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

stored for a week and lame

Hey guys,

I stored her for 7 days in a shaded parking lot. When I started her, I had to prime the empty carbs.
It was hardly starting, slowing down slugishly as I release the clutch, going Low rpms.
It went better with time, but I dropped from my all-time 28mpg (I know it's awful but that's not - repeat not the subject since I did/re-did everything to the book) to an even worse 20mpg.
Any ideas?

thanks a million
 
That is pitiful milesge- i'm sending an email to governor Brown!
how about checking to make sure it's firing on all four? Check header temp, check spark plugs, etc
How about reviewing maintanance tips from Basscliff in case you missed something?
 
I would guess the evaporated gas has left behind deposits that have partially clogged the carbs.
Any chance a mouse found a new home in your airbox while the bike was sitting?
 
Thanks guys, awesome Tom.
Brutal loss of mileage was indeed misfire.
Spark plugs cleaning did the trick.
They got gunky over a week I guess.
she coughed some crap and now back to my good old Rhonda.
