Default What does everyone thing?

Checking things over , tire pressure oil etc. Then I thought , why not add a little techron , always have liked it. Grab the bottle open the cap and the paper gasket falls right in my gas tank. I stood there for a minute WTF!, Now what , Got a flashlight couldn't find it any where. What do you guys think. Should I worry about or wait and see what happens? JR

Interesting dilemma. 2008 SG. Might be a good time to take advantage of this and change the fuel filter in the tank. At least you'll have a bigger hole to look in the tank and see that stuff and get it out.

It probably causes no " immediate" threat but personally I'd get it out of there before it starts to break apart. Jmo

If that happened to me, I'd take it as a sign to get rid of the bike and get a new one. That's the easiest way to fix it, trade it in.
