It had a full tank of fresh gasoline, and even though I bought this bike
used with low mileage, I've been riding it for over a year w/o any problems.
I thought that the dirt, if any, should have shown itself. While usually I
fill up on Chevron, this time I used Shell. Different set of additives, but
still very bizarre. I will try Seafoam first.

Thank you.

Eugene.
