We did the additive thing on Friday. Didn't help. I'll try the seafoam stuff. It's a 2002 without many miles, so hasn't been ridden much. I've only put about 50 miles on it in the last month or so. Short rides. Today I tried turning in a tight circle. The neighbors need to quit leaving the tail ends of their trucks out in the road.........The other neighbor needs to sweep his gravel out of the road before he finds it in his yard. Went through it Friday, but not going straight, and the bike started to wiggle. Now I know I have to be going through it straight, problem is that it is on a sharp turn where I need to stay close to the edge, hence, go through his gravel leaking off the driveway at an angle.duke'sdad said:
Gotcha. Guess I could trailer it up there. I am not good enough to go through traffic. Plus, I can't get it up to speed very quickly to be on a real road. Found out today that the reason behind wearing boots vs. tennis shoes is that you can shift quicker in boots. I'm getting good at the back brake though and practiced figure 8 turns today. I hope I pass the class.aps45819 said:
and your tennis shoe is going to come off as soon as it impacts the asphalt, leaving your foot, toes ankle etc unprotected..aps45819 said:Protection for you ankles.
If you went sliding down the road, with you ankle in contact with the road, how long do you think it would take before you were grinding away bone.
Gotcha. I had never worn my tennis shoes before on the bike, but jumped on it for a second with them on. Also hurts the top of your foot/toes when you shift gears. I do own a few good pairs of boots for riding.aps45819 said:

And with only 1500 miles, it's warranty.
that carb cleaner needs to actually run thru the carb.
