Bummer to a beautiful day

[CrackerRican]

What beautiful day in central Florida for riding today. Then I got some bad gas it clogged my fuel filter & got into the pump. I got the filter cleaned out but no luck with the pump until I get home. Waiting on a friend that has a trailer to pick me up in Orlando about 1 1/2 hour from home, but I had fun while it lasted.

Your good Kyle, I already had someone on the way when I talked to you. The funny thing is I was buying a trailer last week but I didn't have the time to get it. I bet I find the time to get it now.

 

[CrackerRican]

I guess I'm gonna have to inspect my gas tank and see if that was the culprit.

Thanks Eric, part of the fun I guess.

While I have been stranded before too, what I fear is having to strap down such a beautiful bike without leaving any marks from tiedowns. My bike was actually towed once compliments of the PoPo and my brother and they strung it up with a strap feed under seat and across the frame then strapped both wheels hanging by the tow hook. Needless to say the shop payed for a custom reupolestery job and a free tow.
Let us know what you find Cracker.

Got her home safe, no blemishes. Fuel pump shot, could rebuild it but Kyle is selling me one at a good price. I suspect my gas tank is buggered up with rust. If it is I just order a new one. I don't want to deal with this again. I'm taking carbs out & I got a set from Dannymax with stage 7, but before I start I'm getting a trailer this week & teaching my wife how to hook it up & driving with it.

Gonna try & pull the gas tank this week & see how bad it is. If its rusted up I'm just gonna get a new one, i found one for $254 new http://www.yamahapartsmonster.com/o...700209bc78a98a/fuel-tank-non-california-model
If any body know of a better deal, hit me up thanks
