  • I want more wheelies, so ethanol down at the local scrapyard.

    Unless srs. Then just your bog standard at the local BP. The bike has always smelled a bit rich and likes to pop some at around 3k.

  • Was a serious question, some bikes I have had go shit after a fill up. Most fuel tanks in petrol stations leaks and contain water too.

    I'd go at draining the fuel tank and sticking the fuel in the car if you have one. Removing the tank and making sure it is all out. Does the bike have a fuel pump? Can't remember the bike you have. There should be a metal gauze to pick up the larger bits of crud. Motorbikes don't like crappy fuel, nor getting water in the fuel.

  • Ahhh apologies squire, I was surprised by the specific question.
    I'm going to have a go at doing that. I've noticed a pattern of it happening mostly when either the bike has been sitting still a while, or when new fuel is in. I live on a bit of a slope, so if it sits stagnant for a few days at a tilt, it tends to run super rough.
    The pump primes nicely if a little noisily. I know two sides of a pointless coin, but I'll try fueling up elsewhere to see what might happen in the meantime.
