On my last ride of the season Ill make sure the tanks almost empty and fill the tank with ethonal free gas at the pump. Then ride home is enough to get the system full of ethanol free fuel and Im good to go. I dont start it again until spring.
This is a good strategy for some, depending on the availability of ethanol free fuel in their area. The only ethanol free fuel I have ready access to is 87 octane at Maverick, which is probably fine, but putting 87 in my sport bikes just *feels* wrong to me. I do sometimes bring home 91 ethanol free from the track and top the tank off on my 7, but then I get that magical 55 degree January day and want to ride, and there it goes. But YES, for anyone reading this: refilling with ethanol free fuel at the end of the season is a great idea. Thanks for the informative comment @Jj12915!
Excellent informative vid bro - awesome collective of bike too. I start both my carb bikes throughout the year at least twice a month to avoid the probs of the jets gumming up and only use best grade petrol (E5) here in the UK. So far been lucky and that's worked ok. Got a ZX6R and will try the turning key off and on if it fails to start as that's a great tip! Mine usually starts first or second crank over and revs up nicely for 30 seconds on choke but then starts to scream so I try to back off the choke slightly to reduce the revs and then the revs drop suddenly and it try's to stall. 🥶Clearly still cold and needs its choke I have to very gradually constantly adjust the choke until its just right for it - wish it would just build up its revs nicely like yours on choke😁
Thanks for the kind words! I’ve found as long as I can work out a good starting procedure for a given bike, I don’t worry too much about ‘bending it to my will’ by doing a ton of tuning work to make it start easier. I’m heavily influenced by UK bike culture BTW; it’s just so different there vs. here in the States and IMO amazing how a place with such notoriously bad weather has maintained its enthusiasm for bikes over the decades. Sounds like you’re having a blast with yours, keep on keepin’ on! 🙏

@@MOTO2N Thanks mate - yeah the weather is very unpredictable here and not good for biking this time of the year🤣
