thanks guys. i apparently don't to have the tool needed to get to the air filter, but i removed the oil filler plug, and it seemed to smell like gas inside...kinda hard to tell (it was windy and i'm an idiot with cars/bikes), so i'm not sure.
i've never had the petcock set to prime - it's always been on 'on'. i don't think this disappearing gas problem is new - it's been going through gas like this since i got it two months ago. i just did the math and realized i've only put about 200 miles on it (!), but i've been to the gas station at least 3 times. the dealer i got it from gave me a 30 day warranty, and i had it back to them for a leaking gas smell and some other issues, but nothing major was discovered or repaired.
so it seems like i have two problems: seafoam treatment might have mixed things up so that i need to have the carb cleaned, and i need to figure out why gas is going where it's not supposed to go. unfortunately and predictably, i'm just about broke, so i guess i'll have to figure out how to break things apart myself.
