Today in Ottawa was supposed to have a high of 8-9 degrees and sunny but the weather was crap. I didn't care though, I had a 5 month itch that needed to be taken care of. My bike started up on the 4th or 5th try and ran pretty smoothly, it was so nice to get back on the road...Just make sure to visit the gas station and pump some air in those tires, my back tire only had a PSI of about 18 when it should be at 40. Also had to be careful with the cold roads and gravel...Can't wait for Tuesday high of 18!!!
First ride of the season! - did yours start? How was the ride?

You might need to translate your celsius temps to degrees F for us yanks.

It was pushing 295 K in Omaha today! Got in a ride to Fremont w/ bro-in-law on his '82 Yamaha 650 4-cyl, then finally got to the pilot screw mod... in the sun & breeze. Yay!

Hell yes it started. I put it away with only a gallon in the tank and no stablizer. battery was dead-ish so i had to give it a little encouragement, but it went.
course, i'm Fuel Injected now, so i expected it. i have a video i'll upload later.

I took mine out Friday in Peterborough with no problems, the weather was beautiful! Sunny and decent temps (around 10C).... I then proceeded to drive it to Ottawa sunday (about 270km), and i'm with you Yassoon the weather prediction was WAY off... it was a little cold, made a few timmies stops to warm up on the way! Had it out again today, rode it to Carleton from where I live. I *think* weather permitting it will be out everyday now
Dude! you go to Carleton? Me too, well only for another few weeks hopefully graduating soon (2 weeks). Is yours the '04 silver orange combo?bprintz said:Had it out again today, rode it to Carleton from where I live. I *think* weather permitting it will be out everyday now
Nice, I was in the library until around 1:15am tonight, gotta love those assignments,,,I've got a blue EX, I've only brought it to school a few times,,,If you haven't cut off that rear fender with the huge GoodTime Centre license plate holder I suggest that you do it! too weird...
Woohoo ! Just did my first ride of the eason last Saturday
Didn't went very far, just moved the bike from my parents place to my new address.
It was 5 km but still was fun, didn't ride since August 2006
It was cold though (10*C/50*F before windchill factor)
It felt darn good to be back on the streets ;D

Hmm took mine out Sat (stored in North Gower) took a moment to start up (bat was low) but all was nice soon after.. let it run for a min or 2 then took her out on the road.. felt nice to get back out again.. Now to get some good fuel in there (currently 1/2 tank with sabil) and get her all ready for this rain/snow to work its way through Ottawa..

Less than 1 gallon in the tank, no stabil, stored for 6 months.
