    Smell of raw gas after rides

    Holy crapola! That's scary. I'm going on a ride today so I'll let you know if any of this cured the problem. Thank you.

    Smell of raw gas after rides

    So I propped the tank up and checked all lines. Attached are some photos I took. The fuel line connector at the fuel rail was connected but when I gave it a little push, I did hear a tiny click. I didn't see any signs of gas residue underneath the connector or on any of the lines so I'm not sure...

    Man are you thorough. Much appreciated. I'll check this stuff out tonight. I'll take pics as well.

    Bike not that loud but I still hear ringing in my ears after riding

    Wow the ones he's showing are ****ing expensive. I spent $30 on my ear plugs that also have attenuators in them and they work perfect "TheFitLife Noise Reduction Ear Plugs" but the "Eargasm High Fidelity Earplugs" are exactly the same and seem more popular on Amazon. I do hear myself in my head...

    Smell of raw gas after rides

    Thanks TownsendsFJR1300. I'll look around tonight. Whenever I lift the tank (which is rarely), the lines have plenty of slack and I just rest a wooden mallet against the tank and the bottom of the handle right at the top of the airbox intake so I'm not stretching anything. If there was some fuel...

    Smell of raw gas after rides

    Very nice! I've messed with the airbox area in routing the wires for the accessories so I'll lift the tank and check. If this fixes it, I'm sending you a pack of digital donuts.

    Smell of raw gas after rides

    So I did a search here on the subject and although some issues are similar, I just wanted to throw my particulars in there to see if the issue can be diagnosed better or just left alone. Bought my 08 last November with 7260 miles on it and just hit 9000 over the weekend. The only engine/exhaust...

    Is it me, the seat or the bike?

    Thanks for the pic. That helps a lot. Do you have a brand/model or even better a link for yours?

    Is it me, the seat or the bike?

    Someone posted that a few years ago here which is similar to your 1" back risers. Did you have any trouble with clutch line? As you know, our clutch line is very rigid and there doesn't seem to be any slack to go back an inch or more.

    Is it me, the seat or the bike?

    So I have an 08 FZ6 with a brand new/new (I'll explain below) Corbin seat and after a six hour ride through God's country in the Smoky Mountains (Cherohala Skyway), not only was my crotch numb, but upper back between the shoulder blades just below the top of my spine was an 8/10 on the pain...
