My Ironhead has gas tanks like the old fat bob. The two tanks hold 2.5 gallons. They are just connected by two pieces of hose. That means when the petcock is on reserve there are ten miles of gas to make it to some gas station. When reserve runs out one just has to lean the bike over to the petcock side. Today I fugured that rushing right to some gas station when reserve is switched to allows a lot of ethanol to build up because of all the gas that is in the tank when it gets filled up. That let me ride untill I had to start leaning the Ironhead over to put enough gas into the petcock side to make it to a gas station. I had to purchase 2.5 gallons of gas. I bet the gas will now end up being better quality. Thirteen equals good luc.

Wife and I took off about 11:30 went over Sam's Gap to Erwin Tenn. Went off back side of town past Rock Creek Rec area and down Hwy 197 through back roads of Tenn and NC back to Asheville. Pulled into garage as rain hit... great weekend of riding and reall luck with weather.

Buddy and I rode up Hwy 80, called Devil's Whip to BRP, then back to Asheville HD, then to Lake Lure, back to Old Fort and home...

Hey everyone,

I'm new to the forum, so nice to meet you all. I'll get right to the point.

I'm an American from Wisconsin, but I'm currently living in Hainan, China right now studying Chinese here at a University. I recently baught a 125cc motorcycle. I've got about 200km on it, and it hasn't given me much trouble. I only paid 4100rmb for it, or about $700 US for it brand new. I know, cheap right?

Anyway, today I was really having some fun with it, going through all 5 gears pretty quickly, and accellerating pretty hard on it, and I noticed that the middle engine area perhaps near the carburater is leaking gas. It's leaking pretty well. When I parked it afterword, there was a visible puddle of gas underneath the center of the bike.

I'm not sure what advice yall can offer since...
