So I had a bad fall (not mc related) while visiting my son in Alabama and broke my hip(4-14-18)....a full right side hip replacement was required on 4-15-18.
Today, a bit over 7 1/2 months later, I finally was able to lift my hip/leg over the seat and ride...I chose the Bandit for my first ride.
The bike ran great with no issues at all and the engine was smooth as well as the transmission...I was worried cuz the same fuel had stayed in the tank for almost 8 months now but the bike didn't miss a beat. I filled the tank with fresh fuel , reg unleaded 87 octane w/10% ethanol(3.2 gals), the same fuel I always use just to get the old fuel mixed with new.
Anyways, I'm stoked to be riding again and happy the Bandit ran flawlessly even with 8 month old fuel in it....what a great bike.
