Hi people. Nice long ride from Glasgow to ilchester to st Ives, then return. Awesome weather, awful roadworks.
Curiously petrol has been coming out of the cap when I gun it, noticeable after filling. What do you think, is it possible to over-fill to this extent? I've never noticed before...
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've just lifted my tank (plastic 06 RSVR) and petrol started leaking from the filler cap surround.
Any ideas?
It is definitely fuel and not water, so I'm thinking it is bad seal around filler rim/cap. Could it be breather/drain hose related?
Thanks in advance.

As above really, oil level isn't rising or anything but it stinks of fuel, any idea why?
The bike rides fine, doesn't bog down and splutter.
I accidentally overfilled with oil so drained some out with a syringe and it was stinking.
This is my first post in here because I am neither mechanical nor technical :lol
I want to run a power cable from the battery on my 2013 V4R to a sat nav mounted on the handle bars. I take it the best way of doing this would be to run it under the petrol tank? Also, is there a Haynes manual...

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...

Does anyone know if this can be easily repaired?
Cheers,

Just a word of warning!!
When filling up your bike make sure you keep your visor shut as I have spent a total of 4 hrs in 2 different A&E's today after I got a face full of unleaded, when filling the Tuono up today.
After the initial splash I thought this isn't too bad then OMFG the pain...

I have bought an early RSV metal petrol tank to fit on my 2003 bike (last of the Gen 1). Now I need some advice!!!
Will the tank filler cap and pump from my plastic tank fit the metal tank???
Will I need to swap the seat for the early smaller unit???
I know the mesh under seat side panels may...
Hi all
I have tried to go through all old posts but can't find this problem. Had a good fast 100 mile run yesterday

Hallo!
I just drained the oil from my RSV because the oil level was just below max on a cooled engine. There was not too much oil in the tank when i started riding this season. So I think its petrol. The bike wouldn't fire this morning?
Any suggestions ?
