Well, I ran out of gas last night.  It was just due to the restrictive fuel filter though.  It's still embarassing sitting on the side of the road waiting for the carbs to fill up. 

It was then I discovered a major oil leak.  Turns out I forgot to tighten my cam chain tensioner.  Luckily it didn't come out completely.  I still have to go buy a screw....

That's right!  The wind current seems to be traveling from the Northeast part of the US down Southwest, and most likely Northwest. :laugh:

My SVS has something the GS doesn't have: a blinkie light that comes on when there's only a gallon left. Then the blinkie light becomes a solid light when there's .4 gallons left.....but I'm STILL gonna watch it like a hawk with all this bad juju coming my way from evil GS'rz!  :flipoff: :icon_lol: :icon_mrgreen:

Perhaps we should put something in the FAQ..... if your GS sputters at speed, try a gas station before tearing apart the gas tank, the engine, etc etc....  :icon_mrgreen: :kiss3:
