Never seen it happen but I've heard of potential hydro-lock. I seem to
remember seeing some photos of parts after hydro-lock. Bent rods,
screwed up pistons, ect. Anyone expand on this?

As a former British bike rider I've made it a habit not only to shut my
gas
off whenever I shut the bike off, but I do it b4 I get to my stop to run
the
float bowls down.

The potential of gas washing your cylinders by flooding the bike is real
and
should be avoided.

Two things.
My rear brake was making horrible noises, I took it apart and sprayed

brake

cleaner over all the appropriate surfaces and used a dremel to grind

off
the

ridge on the edge where the brake shoe wasn't making contact with the

drum,

put it back together and it was great for a few miles then started

doing
it

again. It not only sounds terrible, but I can feel it vibrating

through my

foot. Do I just need new pads or what?

Also, I left my petcock on last night and this morning had a

surprisingly

large puddle of gasoline under the bike. On one side it was dripping

out
of

the air filter, the other looked like it was coming from the bowl or
somewhere similar. Should I worry about this, or just leave my petcock

off

when parked?

Thanks for sharing your accumulated wisdom.
Ted
