So I got back from my ride just now and when I was pushing my bike around in the garage I heard what sounded like a chuck of metal in my gas tank.

So I sway the bike back and forth and sure enough theres a metal object sliding back and forth in there. Any ideas what it could be? Im thinkin the only thing in the tank is the fuel pickup and the bike is running fine and the low fuel light came on when it was supposed to.

I think I'm going to take the tank off and flip it over to see what comes out, the last thing I want is for it to create a spark in there when Im riding.

****Update****OK, got it answered from another board. Sounds like it's some piece of smog equipment that us special californians get, should'nt make the bike run any different, but I dont want it rolling around looslley in my tank, so off with the tank.

Pour some sugar in there... it helps thicken up the gas to it's easier to remove.







Really...... I'm serious.... you should try it.
