    Also will put dry gas if i think i got water from somewhere
    I thought seafoam would get water out of the tank too. Course you can never get it too dry.
    I think I have a loose screw behind the handlebars.

      A friend of mine(who drives a Honda)puts rubbing alcohol in his tank as he says that's the main thing in dry gas-hasn't had a problem but i wouldn't try it!

        Actually dry gas, or more accurately gas dryer, is denatured alcohol. Rubbing alcohol is denatured alcohol that's already saturated with water, so putting it in your gas tank isn't going to dry anything. I'm with you Oldyam - I wouldn't do it either. BP used to advertise ice-guard in they're gas, which I think is litte more than gasahol. I think the methyl or ethyl alcohol that's in gasahol would probably help to dry a tank.

          He says that there are different strengths for rubbing alcohol-but i think he's crazy-if it was that easy more people would do it.I'll stick to my dry gas.
