When I got home I realized I had been riding with the choke on. :oops:
That's just" burning up fuel smell".
:LOL:

I was looking for the choke before I said "DUH, It's FI!"

BWAAAHAAAHAAHAAHAAHAAHAAHAA!!!!! Some people shouldn't ride motorcycles.

First real motorcycle I rode was an SL100 worn out tires up a steep hill covered with wet leaves. It took me most of a day to figure out how to do it, and the hill wasn't even that big.
