Hey I'm happy to hear she's purring and just needs a good lube.. Let us know how it goes!

 

I'm having the same issue. Bike was running then it would die. Now it only turns over and it will occasionally back fire and a flame will come out my exhaust. But it wont start. Do I need new spark plugs? When I was investigating I found that my fuel tank overflow hose and vent hose were disconnected... Does that matter? ANY IDEAS. Bike was running great before winter. I have a new battery and it's fully charged.
