    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Fuel cap

They can be cleaned. Remove the two screws to the black plastic latch cover. You will find two more screws on a little plastic tower with a hole in it. under that there is a brass plate with a hole in it and a plastic disk under it with a hole in it covering the hole that vents under the Chrome top of the cap. It's a vented baffle system so fuel doesn't splash to the top of the cap. I believe there might be a small ball bearing in the little tower. The cap I looked at didn't have one but the cap on my bike makes a small rattling sound when shaken and I seem to remember one. At any rate as long as everything is clear and not gummed up it will vent.
