After purchasing my Commando several weeks ago, I finally got it fired up today after cleaning the severely gummed up Mikuni. Reinstalled the carb and it fired up on the 3rd kick. The bike hadn't been started in a year or so and this surprised me in a good way. After a minute or so it settled into a 1300-1400 rpm idle.
Took a very leisurely ride of a couple miles with little drama.
My biggest concern is a lazy throttle that when twisted didn't want to return to lower revs for a few seconds. I need to look into the throttle cable routing at a later date.
I'm getting ready to fly to Santiago, Chile to inspect a machine we're having built there. Will be gone until Friday and can't wait to get back and continue this most excellent adventure.
