    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I discovered fuel in my oil the other day from a faulty petcock. I have drained the oil and removed the filter, I was wondering if there is anything I should do before I refill the oil and start the bike again?
 
As long as it is fully draine then a fresh fill should be fine.
You could flush it out with a cheap few quarts of oil then re-drain and use good oil.
 
repair or replace the faulty petcock
install a filter and put the drain plug back in
 
You've got a needle and seat passing fuel as well as the faulty petcock. Make sure you do a complete diagnosis and repair before you suffer a hydrolock or set the bike and/or house on fire.:eek:
