NOOBIE's first pos-rubber hoses from carb off-d'oh

Duh, dooh, ah you get the idea. Brand new owner here. Actually my wife picked it out. It died today and would not start. Assuming the carb was gunked I attacked it with Gumout and a prayer. Still would not start. Dragging the battery down with it....got a charger and pulled the tank. Then I see the line from the back of the fuel switch is off......hey...put it back on and Vrooommmm. Happy wife.....she has her eye on my Shadow 750 I know it......What a great bike to run around on. Tomorrow were going on an EPIC RIDE- 75 miles and back......I got some nice Wingerline crash bars and a nice windsheild for it....pearl white looks nice.......It had only 2000 miles so I changed the oil. Thanks to who ever put the pdf owners manual on here....Oil filter was marked "changed sept 2005" well I guess I was the first. Used Rotella 15-40W- good old school oil that won't make the clutch slip...hey a good gas tires and oil thread started, on no......Just had to post and say this is a great little bike......

2,000 miles? If the oil was from 2005, then the tires are old, even if they have good tread. Tubes are just as old. One going away on a 75 mile trip could get you stranded at best, hurt real bad is a possible. If it was mine, Id give it a good going over & ride around close to home a while before I took off too far, but then, Im old.
