Don't let the bikes sit too long...

That gas turns to sh!t faster than you think. My wifes bike (Ninja 250) and my dirt toy (KLR 250) are both Tango Uniform due to carb crud. Gas smells stale already in about a months time. Not hard to remedy, just time consuming. It's hard to get time to ride em all enough to burn up the gas! Just venting... And now a word from our sponsor: Ralph Spoilsport Motors! Biggest dealer of new used and used new cars this side of Emphysema.

Gerry, I have heard the gas can go bad a fast as a month and it collects moisture from the air fast because of the ethanol. I would drain them and add some Stabl,,but you knew that already,,LOL Thats what you get for riding through Emphysema without a condom on CT AAD COG #7011-A 2003 Concours-Mary Ann 1995 Honda Nighthawk 750 wifes

If you were closer to me, I'd offer to come and ride your bikes for you once a week. In fact, I don't think you'd have difficulty at all finding volunteers for that after the listing of your stable. Street fun plus dirt fun. That's a double fun punch right there in your garage. You might consider short trips on the bikes, like getting the newspaper or the mail every day, of course if that were me I'd wonder how I racked up 40 miles on the odometer between the garage and the mailbox... and that trail through the cutout for the high tension lines... oh yeah, that was it. Alternately, you could set up a system where you change bikes every time you change underwear. You could even record the bike to ride on the elastic band. You're married so you don't have to worry about some pretty young thing asking why you have 'NINJA' on your underwear in black magic marker.

OK, I gave the KLR the carb cleaning it deserved. And man it's running like a top! Woo Hoo!... Easiest bike in the world to work on. It was a real be-atch to sync the carb though... Now to use it enough to keep fresh gas in it's tank. Now to work on the Ninja 250. It needs to feel the love too.
