Great weather, good turnout\u2014had to be 20 or more bikes. Took the long way home via King William to use an E0 pump I found. I must be running my bike on reserve, because I put 4.34 gallons in the 4.5-gallon tank (18 liters) and it never sputtered. Need to put a stop to that habit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/wes_r90_club-breakfast-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10876 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/wes_r90_club-breakfast-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10876 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/wes_r90_club-breakfast-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/wes_r90_club-breakfast-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/wes_r90_club-breakfast-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/wes_r90_club-breakfast.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Bike ran great, a little hard to start but not bad. Kind of chilly this morning, in the upper 40s. No issues running at 55-60 for long periods of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I thought the frayed wires at the top of the left control cluster might have something to do with the bike only starting in neutral. George confirmed those wires go to the clutch switch\u2014so when they break, that\u2019s a (safety) feature, not a bug. Nothing to worry about unless I want to start the bike in gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/wes_r90_frayedwires-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10877 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/wes_r90_frayedwires-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10877 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/wes_r90_frayedwires-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/wes_r90_frayedwires-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/wes_r90_frayedwires-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/wes_r90_frayedwires.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Local club breakfast this morning.
