  |  Something Stupid...
OK... I know I have a honda and all, but this problem isn't really motorcycle specific... other than the fact that my bike has carbs compared to other's FI. But anyways, laugh at my stupidity and then welp! Thursday afternoon, I bought a bottle of "fuel system cleaner". Why? Don't ask. Didn't think twice about going to the next gas station, pouring the whole bottle in, and fillin her up. I go on my way. No problems all of thursday. Friday, didn't really ride much. Saturday morning, went to work, no problems. Saturday at about noon, get on bike to go to lunch. Turn her on, starts fine, running fine. About 10 seconds after putting my bike in gear and starting to ease out of the clutch, it starts running like crud. My V4 motorcycle starts sounding like a gokart, has half the power, and has a lot more vibration than ever before. That's about where I am now. I took out most of the fuel (figuring this is maybe what did it) and put fresh gas in. Needless to say, still running like that. It's sunday, so I can't get new plugs to see if that's what's wrong. My only other guess is that the cleaner thing loosened some dirt and it's now clogging a jet? But I honestly have no clue. Please helpppp.... 1 more thing... This is my only form of transportation (don't really travel much, only within my town) I've stayed off of it for the most part (other than coming home from work, and then going to the gas station for fresh gas and coming back home). How bad for the bike is this? Anything I can do other than wait for the shop to open on tuesday? |
