I believe the weird item is a snake oil gas-consumption/performance product.

The proof will be in a ride. Have to wait till tomorrow now.
That silly gizmo in the tank was put there by whoever owned the bike before me.

HA HA! I pulled something similar out of the tank of my Westy. Mine had probably been sold as "platinum catalyzer pills in stainless steel mesh." Glad to see that not just VW hippies fell for that one.

It might be that I took the "gizmo" out of the tank or might be that new throttle cables and cleaning out the tank filters but SOFIE is running so much better and quieter. Have yet to take her up to highway speeds and see what that is like.
I am so pleased with her that I gave her a bath. First one in a year. Her chrome Staintune mufflers are gleaming.

It definitely wasn't the gizmo. It didn''t do anything, positive or negative, other than the miniscule reduction in tank capacity that it caused.

The "gizmo" drove me mad trying to get it out. Took me awhile to see that I could use wire and catch it that way.Major Softie wrote:Glad to hear it.Ross wrote:It might be that I took the "gizmo" out of the tank or might be that new throttle cables and cleaning out the tank filters but SOFIE is running so much better and quieter.
