Following my thread about some bizarre characteristics of my SK5 last week I am pleased to announce she is like a Tiger once again.
5 weeks of neglect, left outside, in all this rain with a half hearted cover meant she was running well but sometimes choking and cutting out when revved from standstill.
I replaced the 5 week old fuel and took her for a circa 100 mile burn within the last 24 hours and boy is she fit. Having just paid out around £250 for a service aswell I expect she should be. The service was donw early Oct before this weather but I left it standing outside for a long time.
I dont like getting it wet nor do I like riding in the wet, but today, I just got on here and rode like the clappers, clearing those pipes and circulating that oil. Quick hose down on return and covered again - not ideal but obviously what the bike needed.
Bring on summer - I want that dry and mild atmosphere to not have to keep going and cleaning / checking etc...
How do you do yours, in Winter? :smt041
