Had no choice but to ride the XJ today. Went to the shed last night to check it. Stone cold, no battery tender, old half tank of fuel.
Bike started on the first press and the choke settled within a few seconds. Amazing. Let it warm a little and then went back indoors.
Started it this morning zero issues, warmed fine. No lumps or bumps in the revs, no low end hesitation. Madness.
I had to drive back in the rain and it was torrential. Bike felt totally okay but I didn’t dare lean too hard. First rainy cold ride in ages. First ride in well over a month.
Can’t fault the XJ at all.
