Yeah, that's why I suggested them :P

Soooo...that was easy. The fuel hose just popped off the tank fitting. I removed the tank the other day to replace this little grommet there. 2 minute fix, and 1:30 of that was pulling my stand out from behind the ramp and leaning tower of tires. Crisis averted.

HAha! I once spent half an hour thinking my bike was dead only to find out it was the kill switch which I absolutely never use

I spent half an hour fiddling with the kill switch (which I always use 100% of the time) to find out I'd left the heated grips all night and the battery was reading -1,000,000,000V.

I never kill the engine with the kill switch. Always with the key. Now with modern bikes and the electronic ignitions, I'm not so sure thats prudent anymore. Is it?

Out of old habit, I always used the kill switch. However, as it turns out, the Triumph manual specifically states NOT to use the kill switch. So, now I'm trying to slowly break my old habit
