Well, got the bike outta the house and fired her up. DISASTER.....Gas running all over the place. $&#*@@,,, Yes the neighbors heard me. Sorry, it just slipped out. Anyway, Fuel hose cracked right where it went onto the nipple of the carb...
OK, I says.....Don't Panic,,, time for some wrenching. Removed seat, petcock, tank and all hoses. Road trip to Auto Zone to get new fuel line and clamps. Figured bike is 8 yrs. old, this was bound to happen. So, replaced all lines and re-installed tank, seat..etc. gassed up and hit the button. VEROOM...........off she went. Did a quick adjustment to the fuel/air mix screw and went out for a spin.
Its only 45 degrees and cold, but it didn't matter. The blood and adrenalin was running HOT. Man, it sure felt good after a long winter in the cage. Ride Safe Bros,,, I'm finally out there with ya...........
