#92407 GJCARVING (User) Glad to be on the Clinic!!! Expert Boarder Posts: 581 Gas In Air Filter Box! 5 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I just took the Stock box off, and will be replacing with a K&N till more $$$ allows for BAK and Exhaust!!! It had some gas in it, and was wondering what this may mean. I'm getting ready for a 1200 mile trip around NM and CO, and would like all to be well!!! Thanks...   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/06/11 15:23 By GJCARVING.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #92417 smhowse (User) NOPE, it's a Roadstar! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1453 Re:Gas In Air Filter Box! 5 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Your float level might be off. Or if you twist the throttle too many times when it's NOT running that will squirt gas into the carb and maybe the filter area too Sometimes you have oil in there from the crankcase breather tube My guesses Steven   Logged     2005 Midnight Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #92487 Greysnake (User) BB sold all the beer and bought a stratoliner.

I found the stock air filter to be and the glue holding it together will come apart. The K&N is what I put in my stock box at 6,450 miles and at 30,000 it's still going strong. My .03 cents anywho.   Logged     06 Midnight Silverado *nothing shines like a star*   The administrator has disabled public write access. #92578 bowhunter4265 (User) Detroiter by Birth Eastsider by the Grace of God Senior Boarder Posts: 354 Re:Gas In Air Filter Box! 5 Months, 3 Weeks ago   besides what steve and grey said, sometimes when the R* is hot it will puke out the carb. Letting the bike idle for a moment before shut down or shut off fuel and idle b4 shut down will stop the carb puke   Logged     Paul K&N, V&HPowershots   The administrator has disabled public write access. #93068 MS1700 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 295 Re:Gas In Air Filter Box! 5 Months, 3 Weeks ago   bowhunter4265 wrote: besides what steve and grey said, sometimes when the R* is hot it will puke out the carb. Letting the bike idle for a moment before shut down or shut off fuel and idle b4 shut down will stop the carb puke After a while I found this to be true on my 07. I actually heard it puke and saw the results. Ever since I shut fuel off on landing and let it relieve the pressure and no more puke. So this does work. I saw a thread on going pump-less, I imagine that would work also. Maybe someday I'll do that.   Logged     Experience is a tough way to learn ... because, you get the test first and the lesson afterwards.   The administrator has disabled public write access.
