I had my bike on the side stand for the winter. Messed upp nr1 carb, the rest was fine.
Guess all fuel ran to nr1. Now she is always on centerstand.

Re: #1 carb issue
One other thing with your mention of sidestand : Yes, the fuel will go to #1. If the auto-valve ha been eliminated be very careful about storing on sidestand. A faulty float valve will pass the fuel into the #1 cylinder with subsequent hydralock. Best thing to do is be certain to turn off the petcock. For all out there, be wary of much sitting time on sidestand with open petcock. Hydralock is nasty! CBX will remind you in the first mile to open the petcock.
