I had a red one back in the day... clean examples are hen's teeth now so you take whatever colour you can find.

A young guy at our local Canadian Tire had a 900 he was wanting to sell...he offered it to me for a crazy low price but at the time I had 4 other bikes sitting in the garage and didn't want another...

I did go check it out and it had something like only 10,000kms on it..

They were a very underrated bike.

I bought a 900 super cheap as a parts bike but it turned out to be too nice to break as spares for my 600... sold it to a friend of mine who rode it for years. He might actually still have it. Thinking back, I should have put the 900 into my 600 and had an insurance beater. :devil:

I installed five ounces of Sea Foam in the tank anticipating an end to riding. (No not permanently, just for the winter.) I rode a mile to the gas station and filled it up. I have a problem with this procedure. I do not want to carry the can of preservative with me. I do not want the system ingesting a high concentration of it due to an empty tank, and I do not want to fill the tank and then pour the preservative back at home as it will not mix as well. I made my choice to put it in and quickly get to the gas station. Do any of you have these severe psychological problems? Things like this wreck my mind sometimes.

I thought it odd. I started the bike and opened the throttle just slightly to get out of the garage quickly and it stalled. I will chalk it up to a lean idle and that it has to warm up a bit at that temperature (I guess.) The first stall that was not my fault. Always scary!

It was 49°F when I left and 57° on my return, with a bit of wind. My cold fingers kept the ride on the shorter side.

Whenever I put Seafoam in the tank its after I fill it up. Just run it for a minute or two to get the Seafoam thru the fuel lines and injectors. You'll still have a full tank.

I use 360 fuel stabilizer in mine and put it in after filling the tank...I let the bike run for a bit or will ride around the block to make sure it gets through the whole system..

I have a fuel filling station in my garage and fill it up to the top before it goes away for the winter....

I suspect I will have a few more rides yet.

I watched a video on youtube from a guy that has a channel called Project Farm. He did a test on several different fuel stabilizers and the results were very interesting. Didnt seem like any of them actually work very well at winterizing and protecting the fuel. I dont know what really works now after watching that.

Maybe it's all a phycological thing....I use the marine grade 360 in hopes that it is better...I do know I've never had any issues with my small engines since using it....

Maybe using high test fuel is the key as that's all I use in my small engines.

Project Farm is amazing! i have started to watch his videos before buying a new tool. It’s refreshing to see someone demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses without being sponsored by any brand.
