Heather and I took the Yamaha XS1100 Special out for a ride up I-70 to the Central City Parkway, through Central City and Blackhawk, and then down Clear Creek Canyon back to Golden. The weather was good but we got cold at the top of the parkway where it gets close to 9000 feet above sea level.
The XS1100 is running well aside from the octopus vacuum petcock not functioning. The next time I am low on gas, I will remove the tank and attempt surgery on that petcock to get it fully functional with my spare parts collection. Good thing the manual petcocks have a “reserve” setting that bypasses the octopus petcock!
