I had a very similar issue a few weeks ago. I filled the tank up and I added stabil back in Oct, rode the bike on and off throughout the winter maybe 100 miles, and I added slightly less than 1/2 tank of gas back in late Jan.

Then 2 weeks ago it started to get really warm again so I rode the bike a few times on short trips, no problems. Then it just wouldn't start. So I drained the tank and added new gas and it worked fine. After that i went back and changed my plugs anyway, but so far it doesn't seem to have a problem.

check to see if any of your fuel lines are being pinched.

i had a similar problem and that was the cause.

He was in a much different situation. You don't need your bike to finish a cross country trip.

I wouldn't buy what he bought either, I don't want a liter honda or any numbers close to a liter.

That is for sure. It's gotta be something simple. I didn't have time to do it yesterday...mainly b/c I decided to drink some Jack Daniels yesterday instead of fix the bike...and today it's raining.

So it goes another day.
