I wonder if BMW told him,..."It's normal, they all do that"?... :-?...

Seems that motorcycle fires are not unusual. The second URL was a BMW. Tell teller was the owner, and the photobucket pictures include one of a *gasoline connector*.

The fuel injected air cooled BMW's are so lean you cant let them idle for over 4 minutes. If you do the header pipes get cherry red. Its a real fire hazard. I'm glad my Savage has a carb.
