    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

I nee to know ahere my petcock is and how to test it because i think it could be leaking gas into my oil(rottard told me)Any info on where it is or on how to check it,any advice would be great.
Thanks,Jo
 
Sitting on the bike, the petcock is on the left side under the gas tank. There should be two hoses coming off of it. Pull the lines off the petcock, put a rag underneath it and see if it leaks any gas out overnight. Make sure it is not on PRI, or prime.If it leaks, you will need a rebuild kit or a new petcock, or you may be able to take it apart and clean it. It may have dirt/rust in it.
