leak

Hi guys, after a ride I've been getting a whiff of fuel when parking it up in the garage so today after another ride I lifted the tank and seem to have a weep from the block/ plate that the wiring goes into for the fuel pump etc.it looks like it has a gasket and 2 bolts to fix to the pump plate/...

Would anyone know how to cure exhaust leaks at the joins. I have a 2003 Tuono and there is a slight leak at two of the joins, I have stripped it down and made sure the joins are clean and rejoined but if you put your hand near you can feel a slight blow of air. Nothing wrong with the springs as...

Ok so it's service time off year. The Rsv r was running well last year, however it has started leaking fuel from under the tank. As it's a plastic tank I've read that they are prone to leaking where the fuel pump is underneath. Before I start taking things apart has anybody had this problem and...

Hi all, My rsv seems to have an oil leak on the top of the rear cylinder, I have just noticed it when lifted the petrol tank. I thought it was from the cam cover gasket but it seems from the threaded hole on the top of the cylinder head. Any ideas what is that hole for? It definitely has a...

Hello all.. After looking for a fuel smell, i have found my tanks bracket (not the hinge side) has been welded up, and seen fuel spilling from that very top. I have just found a very cheap tank @ £60 on ebay, I had to do a quick look to see if it would fit and promptly purchased.. I found...

Hiya, Just wondered if RSV's are prone to oil leaks? I've only owned my bike for 3 weeks but it seems I have a leak..... When the bike is stood after use it will drip 4-5 drops from the right hand side seems to be running from somewhere inside the fairing. The drips come down from the opening...

So, I used to brim the tank on my '99 Mille. Then it started to piss fuel when I brimmed it, so I started putting less in (to the same point every time), and all was well. Today I filled up to my "normal" point, and it must have pissed away about 2-3 litres before it would stop leaking...

Hi I have a 53reg RSV (gen2) new shape and recently had the Ignition coil replaced by a mechanic friend but now there is oil leaking from where the ignition case is bolted onto the engine... where a an electrical cable enters inside to the ignition. Where can the oil come from? is it easy to...

hey guys i have an 2001 rsv, when washing it i could see some oil in the belly pan i followed it back and seems to b coming from a little hole in the engine case but the hole looks like the case was made like it rather than from damage. is there meant to be like a little grub screw in it? hope...

Has anyone else had the leak on a 1999 mille from the fuel quick disconnect part? it appears to be leaking from there on mine. If so where can i get a metal replacement? I can only find the ones on AF1 racing. Cheers

Hi All. I've only been on here a while, only getting my RSV last October, and i've only lurked really since. After a rideout last week, I was enveloped in oily smoke, and there was oil in the bellypan. On closer inspection I found this inch long 'chip' on the back of the crank case where the...

Chaps Just took my '01 RSVR out for the first time since it was put away for winter, it resulted in an oil leak. Ive stripped the fairings off and have located the leak, it seems to be coming from the centre joint of the engine above where the clutch sits, near the bottom engine mount. I have...

Ive got a question. I'm an active duty Marine, and I just got my bike out of storage. Its an 04 RSV 1000 Factory with only 5k on the clock. I installed the battery and started it up and noticed some milky water coming out of the belly pan. I pulled off the fairings and noticed that it was...

Hi yeah so im back again, i know i know.. i only show up when i have a problem :dunno So as is customary with the cursed bike.. MOT & Tax time comes around, and not long after a thorough servicing, a ton of crap goes wrong! Tip sensor continues to take the biscuit no matter where or how i...

I got two brown coloured rubber pipes from the tank leading down the right side of engine into bellypan and one of them is leaking one drop of fuel about every ten seconds.Anyone got any suggestions ?.

Just got back from a short ride (new gen2, 2000 miles) and noticed a big leak of some fluid from somewhere on the right side, all into the inside of the belly pan, splattered over my boot and my rear tyre, looked back down the road and it had been dripping for sometime, as soon as I shut the...

Hi riders, My 2005 apriliaRSV is bleeding coolant!:confused Ive figured out where it is leaking from (the bigger gasket which seems to seal behind the clutch casing) Is it straight forward to remove this R/H casing, or do i need to drain the engine oil and remove the clutch basket?
