What I bought the 1125R, I installed a K&N. I pressed the vent tube back into the airbox cover fully, or so I thought. I've had problems when the bike is hot with it not wanting to start. It culminated the other day when I went to fill up and fuel spewed out the gas cap when I opened it. This told me I had a vent issue, as in the tank isn't venting. The simplest solution was to look at what I'd changed - the tube. So I lubed it up, and it popped much further into the groove than I could press it in dry. Bike runs so much better now. Simple, little stupid things....... |

I learned a long time ago to always double check my work before I button everything up! Glad you got yours figured out. |

the tricky part is that when dry, I really thought I had the tube in all the way. I had redone the tube several times, and every time I put a lot of pressure to make sure it was seated. Lube is the key..... (I used spit. ) |

A pair of needle nose pliers work well too. |

I agree. Getting the tube properly lubed and inserted into the groove is on my list of things to do. Just gotta wait for permission. ![: D](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/clipart/biggrin2.gif) |
