1 1/2 years in storage
« on: October 17, 2011, 02:49:35 AM »
Hi guys,
Chef from Bali here,its been a while since i have been around & due to work & a 2 year the bike has been untouched for 1 1/2 years but i do feel sad everytime i look at it in the garage.
I know the rear master cylinder will need repair,the rear brake is locked.
After slipping in a new battery & some fresh gas,the bike started pretty easily ( surprising)
but will only idle,as soon as i try to open the throttle it will just die.
I am assuming the carbs need a good clean but i hope to get the bike running well enough to get to the mechanic.

Yep sounds like your throttle needle or main jet has clogged up with dirt. Not suprising if you left fuel in the carbs for 1.5 years
