1st 50 mile ride of the year on subject bike today revealed ALL expectations have been fully realized. SS800 does all its relied on to do, idle to redline....and more, its major tune is now DONE. Yearly oil/filer change is next up....on all 3 actually, as I wake each from winter slumber!Worked out ok, but a full test ride (when weather allows) will be needed to fully determine. Instant startup, perfect idle speed 1100 RPM, perfect synch after tweaking both cylinders CO to 5%, possibly exhibiting freer revving to high RPM too. The exhaust reading tool I made worked out fully operational, easily worth the effort. Results of a full test ride should reveal if my desires (smooth, controlled low RPM speed and on/off throttle) have actually been achieved. Here's hopin'.
yeah Stabil 360 is a marine product as in water and condensation everywhere, seeing as how water attracted Ethanol is in the fuel is the issue no reason not to use it. we (as in over here) the only place to get it is at a marina. so my alternative is Wynns petrol treatment does the same thing and keeps the jets spotless.^ IMHO......why not? Besides stabilization over winter, it is also a fuel system cleaner, fights results of ethanol, blah blah. AND has a special Vapor Action.....below clipped from their website.....
"The only fuel treatment to emit a revolutionary vapor technology that rises above the fuel line to protect your engine where others before it can’t. Use it with every fill up to help keep your engine running cleaner, leaner, smoother and stronger than ever.
Just a 1/2 oz with a fill up. It'll keep them pilot jets clear and clean, fo' sure, injection innards too.
Feels good, doesn't it? I also took the Bandit out for the first time, a very short run to assess it's condition. It was great to be back out in the wind again.1st 50 mile ride of the year on subject bike today revealed ALL expectations have been fully realized.

Felt great to finally get out there! Visited 3 local beaches. At end of ride, filled up gas, and added Stabil 360.
I agree with you, something is better than nothing. I was just pointing out that Stabil 360 is not wildly available everywhere as it's essentially a US product you can get it here but only at a marina or yacht chandlers, but when you don't have so much as a boating lake within 50 miles it's not so easy to get.I'm a confirmed proponent of 360, have been a long time.
I use Stabil 360 with a little 2 stroke oil added too. Bike sat this year longer than I ever planned it to sit. Thank fully I do run it in every tank when I am done with the ride. Example, might ride a 400 mile ride at the end of the trip that fill up get the 360 added on that tank on the way home. I also use 2X the amount for a 10 gallon quantity. Anyway bike started flawlessly after sitting this year for 5 months, as iI was not planning on getting sick and not being able to even get out to the garage. I started doing this back in 2017 when I started driving a semi over the road and had no idea when I would get home next. It has worked for me, in an unconditional good way.yeah Stabil 360 is a marine product as in water and condensation everywhere, seeing as how water attracted Ethanol is in the fuel is the issue no reason not to use it. we (as in over here) the only place to get it is at a marina. so my alternative is Wynns petrol treatment does the same thing and keeps the jets spotless.
Well, thank you. I got the carbon look vinyl from a fabric store my wife frequents. I go in and see what they have vinyl remnants and buy those. It’s quite thick and was listed as a marine grade vinyl. I’ve been back but not seen any more of it. It’s the 3rd seat I’ve done for him with the same vinyl….and now I’m out.Very amazing looking. I like the carbon fiber appearance of it……. How did you manage to recieve the seat from him and all that?
Oh that's awesome. Yeah I'm from th east side so I suppose that wouldn't work. I'll have to try Nd look around for some of that print. And maybe try reupholstery myself or something. Running out of random tasks to finish before i get my stuff back.Well, thank you. I got the carbon look vinyl from a fabric store my wife frequents.

As far as receiving the seat from him….we don’t live all that fapv .mm(
an hour and a half with. He was on his way to Sacramento one Saturday and dropped it off. I finished it up a week or 2 later and he dropped by and picked it up on his way home from somewhere on this side of the Bay Area.
