Spring Cleaning

So after stripping the bike down for a few days I found the source of the weird bubbling noise and diagnosed the flooding problem as a busted fuel petcock.

Alright!

So with the bike halfway apart I decided to give everything a good pressure wash and knock the oil and dirt off. The carbs got cleaned again, air filter cleaned and re-oiled, oil changed and new spark plugs added. Later on I'll change the drive oil and possibly re-do the oil change with a fresh filter as well.

As of right now, it's sitting at a mechanic's shop in Toronto where I hope the finishing touches will be made and a safety certification given. Once that's done, I just need to pick up a pair of plates and go.

Oh yeah, it's insured, too.

Ontario, get ready for your newest menace on the roads...
