how not to clean your chain -nklr

[Steve]

Hey! Wait a minute, a "neo" what? I totally support OSHA! LOL It's just that I was showing the pics to some of my computer graphics buddies and they were pretty sure it wasn't real. Please don't shoot the messenger! ;>} I also agree about that chain, you won't see my hand any closer than 6 or 8 inches, and that's *only* if the key is out of the ignition and *I'm* the one spinning the back tire in neutral! I saw a *real* smashed pinkie after my buddy caught his years ago, chains scare me. Loved my CX500 shaft drive! But not as much as my A19, chain and all. Steve (Chicobro) guymanbro wrote:

A friends 1992 650 has developed a leak at the fuel valve where the fuel hose conects. Earlier he had noticed that the right angle fitting thet the hose is on would swivel. Last week we were riding home from work and at a traffic light I noticed that his bike was leaking fuel. He reached down and touched the hose and the right angle peice came out in his hand. He zip tied it back in and rode the rest of the way home without any leaking. Is there a more permante fix for this or is a new valve the only way to go?

<><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><> Bill, If my petcock had the issue your friend's has I'd be using JB KWIK (the fast version of JB WELD) to fix it. It's just a press fit with a bit of sealant as far as I know. At least the ones I've messed with were like that. Wouldn't take but about 10 minutes to fix and if your friend did the repair at the end of the day it would have all night to cure which should be more than enough time.
