New to me 2014 S
Bought this bike a month ago from family friend. He’s older, Harley guy, bought it new on special 0% financing, threw an exhaust and kickstarter on it and then parked in the garage for a decade. Had to drive it home with the choke on and it would stall if you closed the throttle. Stalled 3 times on my 1 mile ride home. Got the carb out and the PJ was clogged. Decided to rebuild and rejet with a mikuni rebuild kit and JDkit “while I was in there” (little did I know I was going to “be in there” a lot in the coming weeks). Went with 155 main, 25 PJ(which I later ripped back out in favor of factory 22.5), blue needle, position 3. Tires were basically new with the nubs still on them but 7 years old, chain needed some love, all new fluids, plug, stuff like that. Even after I did a lot of work, it would stall going up or down hills, or after I had ridden a while. And I just couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Tested stator, RR, replaced shit that didn’t need to be replaced. Turned out I had only put about ~.7 gal of E0 in it, so I was hovering right at the line of the upper fuel pickup, AND I HAD NEVER FLIPPED IT TO RESERVE😓. I paid $4500 I know I didn’t “get a deal” and idc. I love this thing. Leaned on this sub, and the forums so much during this process. A lot of late nights with the bike in pieces and me in my truck with the air on scrolling through (super helpful) comments. More pics of the process if you care
