Can anyone provide some insight?
I am a new member to the site, and a new XS owner.I picked up a mint condition 79 XS1100 with 3500 miles on it. In 1998 the fuel was drained, and it was covered and put into in storage until last week. I have given it a new battery/oil change and rode ~450 miles on it, it runs like a top. After a 50 mile nighttime ride, I put it away in the garage, the nex morning, it started, but has NO power. It seems like it is only running on 2 cylinders. There is a strong smell of unburned fuel, and alot of sputtering. I have drained the tank and refueled with premium gas, no help. How could it run so smooth and perfectly, then just crap out? Any suggestions?
