How does that even happen on a Yamaha with the cover over the cap? Unless the cap wasn’t tightened.

I’m having flashbacks to my 2005.5 KTM 250SXF with the quarter turn gas cap. What a terrible design. Every couple months I’d get a new gas cap that was “revised” and it would still eventually dump fuel on my crotch. Pinch

Nothing like scrubbing them off in the pits... It only burns like a propane torch for a few hours..

You guys have been messing around with the wrong women if you think a little gasoline on your crotch burns enough to be anything more than a minor inconvenience.

Didn't you word that wrong? Wouldn't it be "you guys haven't?"

Oh yea, back in 81'. I can't remember what happened, but I went down in a 1st turn crash and the overflow tube was ripped off, and I'm pretty sure the cap got jacked up. By the end of the moto, my whole lap was soaked in gas. I ended up finishing the moto, rode straight back to the pits, ripped off my boots/pants and sat down and dumped the cooler of ice on my lap. That shit hurt.

No, he was correct. The ones that make you burn are the most fun.

Yeah. I had fuel on my pants from a loose filler and accidentally hit the single wire kill button at full noise which earthed through my nuts to the bare metal patch on the tank and we went up in flames.
Fortunately I was beside the frog pond and rode straight in with little harm done.

Regular fuel on the balls sucks, but VP Pro6 on the balls is like having a mixture of fire, ice, contact cleaner and lemon juice all on your sack.

It may have been why he set fastest lap of the race- a 1:59.9 on 8.
