Did you miss his comment about having a non-oem fuel cap?
My bet is that is the problem.
Along with one or more fouled plugs.

Others have figured out how to ride (presumably safely) with the cap loose
or off. Maybe the OP can too!

Isn't the evap. canister only present on California models?
If so, wouldn't it have been MUCH easier to just ask if the bike was
originally sold in Calif. ???

Oops, sorry, I forgot that you have this need to "baffle us with your
brilliance". ;-)

Albrecht and Ken,
Thanks for your input. After further inspection of the bike, I do
not have a california model (i'm in Nebraska). I coudn't find the
charcoal cylinder... So, is it the gas cap? yea, I could ride with
it loose, but is a vented cap that much of an expense? Where is a
good place to buy a lockable vented gas cap for this bike? I'm going
to put it all back together tomorrow and see if a loose cap fixes the
problem. Wow, I have had it in the4 garage for almost a month waiting
for the time to fix it...a tight gas cap would be a real kick in the
nuts for all the good weather that I've wasted.

Thanks again,

Tim

Oh...and a new gas cap perhaps.
