I've had my Eldorado in storage for about 9 months (family issues on East Coast, travel). I went to fire it up today. Stinky exhaust (eye-watering, like way rich), then smoke coming from under the exhaust heat shield on the "driver's side", right near where the footboard is.
Had no time or tools. Is that about where the O2 sensor plugs in? Was thinking maybe the wire was burning or something.
Otherwise the bike fired up on second hit and ran fine. Have any of you had a 1400 in storage long-term? Any specific issues to look for? I treated the gas a few times but other than that it's just been sitting. Do injectors get stuck, do fuel filters clog, air box issues etc etc???? It's been stored inside under a cover, temp controlled, don't see any insect nests or anything like that.
