UPDATE:
Took the bike to church this AM and for the long way home. It started right up :P . Maybe it needed to be ridden? It had basically sat for 9 months without Stabil or anything. Also I found out that you just need to pull the enricher just a tad, gently, and a little throttle and you're good to go. It only took a minute to warm up before heading on the road.
I plan to take it for a dirt ride this afternoon, will report my findings. I have a patient with a Husaberg who's been wanting to ride with me. Any luck at all I'll be able to take a turn on that fine machine too. 8)
Some more plusses to report. The horn fixed itself. My guess is it did not like the powerwasher, although it is now of normal volume, before it was feeble. Go figure.
The swingarm is aluminum, the suspension is adjustable although I have not played with it yet. It uses no oil or antifreeze.
Over 600 miles on the clock. I hope to have it over 1,00 in another week. God willing.
