Spit, sputter, cough. 2 Years, 2 Months ago  
I wasn't too cold for me this morning, but the bike had other ideas of staying in the nice semi-warm garage. I pulled out the choke, put her in neutral, and turned it over....Spit, sputter, cough?

So I rode her to work (about 4 miles) 29 degrees out, but clear and sunny. Kept spitting and sputtering all the way to work, the choke position made no difference, there was little or no power. Scootergirl came to go to lunch with me, so we took the RS to the dealership, told them to FIX it. I have prepayed maintenance, so there is no extra cost. They said that the plugs should be changed at or around 8k miles (first time I've had tires outlast plugs ).

Anyhow, they are open late tonight, and I hope to get it back soon. I guess with the fresh oil change, new plugs and tune-up, I might just put her to bed for the winter....naaaaa!
