leaking

So my 2001 aprilia rsv mille with 36tkm under its belt started leaking gas. Badly. I'm no mechanic but I took off some fairings and found out the gas pours out from a tube near my crotch. It poured out maybe 4 liters after i filled the tank and then stopped all good. *couldn't upload pictures...

Hello everyone. My bike seems to be following the standard issues list to the t lately and now I notice the clutch fluid leaking very quickly. I'd like to get this fixed but after researching more, I've found that the Ducati guys complain about their Evo slave cylinders leaking as well. Is it...

Hi All, have any of you guys had any oil leak out of the adjuster at the front of the fork bottom? I appear to have a slight weep-it`s not coming from the fork seal, but building up in the adjuster hole on the left side fork leg. I am due my first service soon, so will have to get it checked...

Hi all, my poor old girl has suffered another problem, went into garage and could smell petrol. on investigation I found the leak, it was coming from the rear of the fuel pump so I purchased a new seal and replaced it. ITS STILL LEAKING :confused any suggestions guys

Hi All I noticed I had the odd drip of coolant around the bottom of the radiator , the bike was serviced last Sept and the coolant needed topping up then , the bike is 18 months old and is an ABS model , it has only done 1800 miles , I have had it into the dealers last week , they confirmed...

Got some fuel leaking from the vent pipe to my fuel tank. I'm guessing the fuel hose inside the tank has deteriorated. I have ordered some submersible fuel hose to replace the bad hose. Anything else I should order prior to opening the tank (clamps, seals etc... ?) Ordered the hose here (its...

Firstly hello everyone, After having a 2003 RSV 1000 mille for 2months short of 5 years, been to Italy 3 times on it, which was great, but the body after the last trip was telling me that I am no spring chicken at 53yrs young, so at the weekend I only went and got myself a Tuono Gen 1 2005...

Hi all. Haven't posted on here in a long time since I sold my RSVR a few years ago, but now I have bought a 99 reg Falco.... and have had no end of bother with it! :( To cut a long story short: New stator New sprag gear New sprag clutch New clutch diaphragm New speedo sensor New battery All...

Hi All, As the title suggests, my front caliper has a wee leak, its not gushing but the disc is covered in brake fluid. I have managed to get hold of a set of seals from Mode Performance, from their display caliper as they didnt have a gold caliper in stock. They did say that Brembo dont sell...

Posted for Grin Factor ! All you need is a pair of scissors and some plastic - i used an old take-away curry tub. The idea is to make the existing seal on the filler cap seal tighter against the tank, to do that make a plastic washer (i used 2) Washer size: Note: you dont need to...

hello all, i am a new rsv owner i have a 2004 rsv 1000r, and the last time i rode it after i filled it up the gas cap leaked and got gas on my clothes.

[/IMG]Ok as some of you know I have replaced all the lights mirrors and plastics on the Mille to get it ready for my son. Anyway bought a tank from a member to replace his. But the flange is leaking like a sieve. Anyone here that can help? I did a search but didn't find any long term fixes. This...

Had the bike sat in the garage on optimate for the last month due to surgery, Went to give it a once over today and as i pumped the clutch i can hear a breathing sound, like air being sucked in and out, so had a look and notice a dripping slave cylinder, great. My trackday is on monday, is...

Hi guys, Im dripping abit of coolant from here, its gradually got worse, to the point where i notice a patch in the garage, is it a common fault on these? What part do I need to replace? I dont even know what that cylinder type thing with the rusty cap is! Heres a pic:

Well went out today and ran the bike for the first time in weeks and noticed that i had coolant leaking out of one of jubilee clips on the offside feed to the radiator. Now the radiator has been swapped out and when i did this i changed from the ****** snap on clips Ape use for simple standard...

I bought a pair of waterproof motorbike boots from a well known retailer. I originally bought them in september 2007. In november 2008 I returned them as they were leaking and made my feet wet in the rain, no questions, straight exchange. The new boots are now leaking as well, they are only 11...

after my previous post saying i noticed a puddle of 'oil' on the base of my fork leg, i went to southern cross and they took it apart and couldn't find a leak. I went back home and the stanchion was still feeling greasy so i took the mudguard off and wiped both sides off with brake cleaner so...

Came back to my bike today, to discover that both tyre pressures were almost 0, it was only 2 weeks ago since i put air in them, and its been ongoing since i had my bike, so, my question is, does anyone else suffer this on their brembo wheels, or is it just ***** powder coating on mine thats...

Had a bad day today!! First of all my battery packed up, not really a problem as I knew it was on its way out. I put the battery on charge at about 16:00 hrs and at about 18:00hrs I went back down the shed to check its status. When I walked in the shed I could smell petrol and noticed the...

both of my my fuel overflow drainage pipe and fuel breather pipe are leaking gas and when is test to find the "crack" with a clear vinyl tube the fuel stops climbing just above where the fuel pump is at right a lil below the quick idle screw adjustment.. could it be both of them are unplugged...
