    Anyone know an alternative to GBM in the Arlington area? The 90$ an hour service is starting to kill me.

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    CBR1000f 91' and it won't start. let it sit for about a week and it was running fine, then it would not start. Changed the plugs and it did not help, smells like it is getting gas, it turns over and all the lights work, but it will not catch.

    Bruce, should I have the key in the ingnition when I turn the kill switch on? I've been trying to start it with the key in the lock for the seat, you think that might have something to do with it?

    I'd drain the gas tank and float bowls and try again.
    Could be just some water or sediment in the line.
