im looking for a replacement gas cap that will fit the tank properly. Does anyone know of one that will fit other then the stock one? Mine seeps gas out all down the tank when its over half full...

I read a post here awhile back that said if you take one of those cheap womens hair bands, the kind with the cloth that covers the elastic and fit that over the gas cap onto the fill port neck it makes the gas evaporate before it runs down your tank. I had the same problem and got one my girl friend had laying around, so far it's worked for me.

Thanks for your reply Bob. I actually noticed your post about the wick right before you answered. I am still interested in finding a different cap. a chrome one one with an old school look and no locking feature.

Pull the plug and clean or replace and check for color
and or pull carb and run a jet cleaning wire thru both jets. sounds like a tiny piece of something is clogging a jet orifice. The high RPM maybe knocked a particle loose.

I changed the plug and its running like a dream again.

Mixmaster: Glad it was that simple best first option/ did you put a NGK in ? Was your old one fouled and black?

Freezerboy: I am not sure if anyone figured out a replacement for the gas tank cap, but no doubt there is one somewhere on ebay. Try the hair band its almost a free mod, most say it worked. You could also probably add a large neoprene o ring on top of the raised metal or behind the seal on the cap to put more pressure on the seal.
Its finally going into the 70s this weekend and we just came off another blizzard of 10 inches...go figure.
A winter marathon here in Minnesota for sure

Way to go Chruk Looks like a perfect job. It shows what can be done for just lots of labor.

Got my new tail light from scooter depot today. The wires were about 8 inches too short to reach the oil box.. Called them.. they said they will send another one.. im starting to get pissed off. To fix the wheel hitting the fender.. they told me to weld a new bracket for the tail light somewhere else.. umm im not welding anything on a bike with 10 miles on it.. not to mention all the clips that hold the wire to the bottom of the fender broke off.. they should send me a new fender, lamp, and brackets
