What just happened to your starter is to be expected AN...

Re: "Creaming" the tank

O.K. POR it is. Is 1 pint sufficient? Here is a link to POR's fuel systems products: http://www.por15.com/Fuel-System-Restoration/products/12/ As you can see there are many choices but I am swinging towards the simplest one http://www.por15.com/US-STANDARD-TANK-SEALER/productinfo/TSG/ in combination...

Yup - I had that problem when I went to a 130/70/16 - I broke a piece off the bottom of one of my lower fairings. Since then, no problems.

Re: PANIC! pictorial reference needed

Hmm . . . well I believe if you are missing the spacer and/or washer then the front discs and pads should be rubbing due to wheel play i.e. side to side movement of the wheel on the axle. Center stand the bike and get the front wheel off the ground and give it a spin. Any sloppiness should give rise...

Re: PANIC! pictorial reference needed

Well after looking closer I'm not sure. It could be that the spacer is flanged, but I think its actually a washer. Does yours have the spacer and/or washer as in the above picture?

Fuel cap rubber gaskets

Question: Am I missing an upper rubber gasket on my fuel cap?
I seem to recall seeing something like a rubber gasket in a photo somewhere . . .
The cap doesn't seal tightly - it kinda jiggles around a bit
