Old gas can lockup injectors too.
Test by spraying some ether into the intake to see if the motor fires. If it does, the problem is fuel delivery related. |

However, I noticed on the bike with HRC on the fairing, the front rotors are reversed.

I'm not usually a fan of brown paint jobs but,
the current home page bike is really nice.
I also like the way the fellow swapped in the CB919 forks and wheels.
Nice work! |
