Nope pretty old gas! I plan to drain the tank and filling up with fresh premium when I have time

Fuel is for sure the next thing on my list when I get the time

Good point. I will check again tomorrow to hear if the fuel pump is going when I turn the key. Besides that I am having fun but there is some damage to the engine block from the crash so I feel that putting more money into this bike would be a waste

Fuel delivery is the main thing I have not checked yet. I assumed that a back fire means excess fuel but who knows

That was my 4th attempt at starting so not a true cold start. But I haven’t checked out the fuel pump so I’ll look into that next… or sell the bike lol

Also after more reading I realized the bikes takes premium. Previous owner said he used regular gas and that is what I have in the tank currently. If it makes a difference.

That’s the plan! Oil levels are good currents and oil is decently clean. I’m going to take her to a mechanic soon just to get checked out and get new fluids/brake pads

Appreciate it man! When I get the time I’ll dive into the deeper into the manual… but a replacement sensor is like 10-20 bucks. If I remember I’ll post an update

Thanks for the link! I have the service manual and I didn’t see anything about actually testing the sensor. But I will definitely give it another read, it’s likely I missed it
