As a former British bike rider I've made it a habit not only to shut my gas
off whenever I shut the bike off, but I do it b4 I get to my stop to run the
float bowls down.
The potential of gas washing your cylinders by flooding the bike is real and
should be avoided.

Two things.
My rear brake was making horrible noises, I took it apart and sprayed
cleaner over all the appropriate surfaces and used a dremel to grind offthe
ridge on the edge where the brake shoe wasn't making contact with thedrum,
put it back together and it was great for a few miles then started doingit
again. It not only sounds terrible, but I can feel it vibrating through myof
foot. Do I just need new pads or what?
Also, I left my petcock on last night and this morning had a surprisingly
large puddle of gasoline under the bike. On one side it was dripping out
the air filter, the other looked like it was coming from the bowl or
somewhere similar. Should I worry about this, or just leave my petcock off
when parked?
Thanks for sharing your accumulated wisdom.
Ted
