Fuel leak

S

Si600

I'm probably being a numpty here, but when I got to my bike yesterday afternoon I noticed a damp patch under it and what looked and felt like petrol on the end of one of the hoses that sticks out of the fairing. Got home and parked up, went out to the garage later and voila! another damp patch :(

I filled it on Weds morning on my way to work, and I mean properly filled it. Do you think I've been a bit over enthusiastic with the petrol and it's just expanded in the sun or is there something more serious going on?

It's only just happened and I would have thought that even if it's full when I leave the petrol station it should have used enough not to overflow in the next 10-15 miles to work. :dunno
 
Thats something else you'll have learned then Si, once you've filled her up you just gotta keep riding. Don't want to lose any fuel at all through heat expansion - not now I'm only getting a steady 75-80 miles before the light comes on again FFS :eek: :eek:
