Rob & others,
This sounds like it'd be a quick fix and my bike won't be laid up at the
dealer for weeks. I'll try pulling the side covers to verify the location.
If I remove the tank for a closer inspection, how much "slack" will there be
in the fittings? Is this something I can do myself as I only do basic
maintenance items? Thanks. I don't feel as bad about this problem anymore.
