Maybe they think it means pooOriginally posted by soulless kaosbut personaly I dont see a point in a 1000 you can get the same power from a properly tuned 600 with less weight and better handeling.

the obvious fuel question, did it have enough gas in it to run with the petcock in the "on" setting? 5 gallon tank, prolly 3 gallons usable with the petcock "on". what was your fuel gauge reading? (even tho they're notoriously inaccurate) Before you flame me or get indignant, there have been plenty of threads where the owner had just run the skoot below the petcock's ability to draw when "on", not prime or reserve. btw, with the skoot on the kickstand, the gas level at the petcock filter is higher than with the skoot upright and level which would account for it starting fine the next day after being parked.99% of the questions asked here can be answered by a 2 minute search in the service manual.
