- Goldwing rider dies and goes to the gate for evaluation St Peter looks down at his I-pad+ and says "Well, I don't know here, you were pretty wild as a teenager and I don't see anything outstanding in your record here to change that" The rider says " Wait a minute! What about the time I was...

Well, at least now you know. I would set 180 miles as the limit. Nice of the other rider to help you out. I probably would have done the same.

The fuel petcock is right in front of the filler cap. There is a short fuel line from the fuel filter to the petcock. (visible in the picture) There is another fuel line from the petcock that goes to the engine. Just remove the short hose from the filter to the petcock and connect the hose that...

1500 Fuel Filter and Fuel Petcock

When you first turn the key on, all the lights should go on for two seconds as a self test, including the fuel reserve light. The 1500 does have a fuel petcock but it's automatic and vacuum operated. Engine off, fuel off. It's actually just a shut off valve but is called a "petcock". They do go...

If I might suggest, I would like to have attended but have yearly, pretty much standing commitments on summer holiday weekends, especially Labor day. Maybe theres others that would have liked to have attended it but are in the same situation as me. Schedule it for a non-holiday weekend if...
