I've only had mine for just under a year. Currently has 28K miles.
I noticed over the last 4-6 weeks:
* gas smell when parked in the garage (though no leaks around the petcock assembly area or under the bike)
* decrease in MPG from 37 to 28 (it has a trike kit installed, thus lower MPG to begin with)
* flat spots in acceleration up to 3K RPM, which its had since I bought it
The shop guy said it looks like a carb problem. He said, he'd know more next week when he had a chance to look at it. I don't know if I'm looking at a stuck float, gunk inside the carbs, complete carb overhaul, or a replacement.
What can i expect to pay of the carbs need rebuilding? Synchronizing?
Thanks,
Greg
