Just got it firing!
My 2008 1200 sport has been misting oil around the carc unit. I figured to look into it during the off season, which is coming soon. But I was failed in my annual safety inspection which really pissed me off. So I'm looking into it now. Cleaned it up and figured I'd go for a ride and find the source. While looking it over and looking in my parts book, I noticed that the upper "upper dust cover" is missing the lower hose clamp.
I can't imagine why the PO may have removed it. In the parts book it appears to be a round hose clamp, meant to go around a "squarish" object. Any problem with shaping a regular hose clamp to fit? Should I buy the factory part? Am I missing anything here, like it doesn't really use one?
