1st start in five months
« on: March 01, 2018, 12:45:23 PM »
EFI induction and digital ignition equalled a 1 second start yesterday after sitting for five months.  Settled quickly into a perfect idle.
40 degrees, dry, has had the (original) battery connected a tender twice in the 5 months.

A 2014 Honda CB500X.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Yup! No special throttle-choke-Kickstart action required! The "good Ole days" can stay back there!

 Started up my Like yesterday, after it has been sitting for 4 months. Letting it warm up, I found myself gearing up. My conscience left the house to go shopping, so I rode it around the neighborhood for a few miles. That was my first ride since my quick dismount 4 months ago. This little plastic toy got my circulation going again.
