well i discovered today as i was goin down the road that it dies..lol..i was just cruisin and all the sudden it tries shuttin off so i switch to choke and i get about another 50 feet and it did it again..i got off the trike seein what was wrong and i couldnt find anything..now u gotta realize..nothin against hondas but my 185 is a pos...seriously..so im thinkin hmm it coulda been any number of things..i opened my gas cap and looked back inside to see if i had gas..well i did..1/2 tank..im thinkin no way it was that..i was on reserve..i guess i didnt switch over when i filled it...anyway i try startin it and it starts right up..im thinkin ok this is a little wierd..so i hop back on and get goin again..another maybe mile down the road it tried to quit again but this time i opened the gas tank..it fired back up as i was still rollin..so my ? is..is my tank cap bad? i mean its one of those with the on off switches and it was on...so i thouhgt it would have just sucked the air out and wouldnt get any pressure for the gas to come out..well it kept doin it and i just kept openin it up and it would start right back up..so i figure it has to be the cap..what do u guys think?
