Gas dripping all over the place!

[scapco at ecentral.com]

Phil,

Do not try to start the bike, it is very possible the 
cylinders could be hydrolocked.  What has happened is the 
vacuum seal in the petcock has failed.  You'll need to 
replace the petcock, but first remove the spark plugs and 
crank it over to be sure the cylinders aren't full of gas.  
This can happen with a vacuum petcock without putting it on 
prime.
