Seafoam

I had added a can of seafoam to my tank post re-paint with less than reserve in fuel. Big mistake. The bike ran horribly, and I am quite surprised I made it up to the gas station. Poor response overall, and it wasn't until after I had added midgrade to the tank that things started to get better. Slowly, throttle response increased, pick up "picked up" and the bike started running like a dream.

Once I had arrived at work, the bike was running like it should. The ride home was even better. I think the bike could benefit from a tune up, however, just to make sure that everything is as it should be.

Looking forward to some fine riding, now that all issues are taken care of... so far. :)
