tmcafe Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 You may have noticed this already: it seems that water leaks underneath the gas cap lid. The plug part that actually stops the filler opening may be tightly sealed by a washer (hopefully). However, there's a circular area around the opening about 1" wide, and water often pools there. It's annoying because I've got to watch for it when I fill up. Sometimes I grab a paper towel and mop it dry trying to hold the bike upright so that the water won't drop inside. Am I missing an O-ring or washer underneath the gas cap lid, or is it just Luigi's design ? Another question, potentially related to the first, is directed at those of you who've had experience with either Lugggage Locker or SW Motech tankbags: how sturdy are the screws/attachment plates for the tankbags? Could the tankbag gas cap attachment, and the weight of the tankbag, create problems with how tight the gas cap is, or its integrity? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docc Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Yes, or the drain hose could be kinked somewhere along its path under the tank. Sometimes they get zip-tied too tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmcafe Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 Thanks, I haven't gotten a chance to check the drain plug. Last time I filled up, however, there was no water at all, maybe that's why I forgot to look into it again. Will do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
