Hey everyone,
Just got off the phone with the local dealership and explained the problem to him. He said it was probably a gummed up carburetor and that putting in a fuel system cleaner can actually be BAD for it. That the carburetor actually needed to be physically removed and completely cleaned and retuned. Does that sound right to you guys or he is he just selling me on some work? I'm thinking that since the bike is a 2004 with only 2,000 miles on it that it was probably sitting for a while before I bought it and could use a tuneup by a professional anyway...
Any thoughts?
