All of a sudden the IT250 started running very lean and wouldn’t take any throttle at all. I was puzzled because of just having worked on the jetting but then saw fuel running out of the fuel filter. The brand new filter had split and had mostly air in it. I did get it patched up with epoxy to ride back to the truck but now have the spare filter line that could be swapped in for the whole thing.

Yes, I have the tire repair stuff but the Slime has been working including the other day. Just one small dot of green on the outside of the tire casing and the leak was sealed. Where I’m going it isn’t especially rocky so I doubt there will be a flat problem.

Up by Vantage/Ellensburg is a different matter where down by the river there is a tire slasher rock every 10 feet or so and a hundred lesser rocks between. But it is worth navigating around those to get to the hundreds of miles of ORV trails in the area.

The only time I managed to get the bikes out (TW200, DR650SE and my wife's Vespa LX150) on the trailer to Craters of the Moon, I was rewarded with a nail in the rear tire of the DR650. My wife and son enjoyed riding around Craters on the bikes. I pulled the trailer with the DR650 sitting on it. We've never had another good weather weekend with all of us off work to try again. My upcoming 6 week business trip to San Diego puts that on the back burner for yet another year.
