yeah i thought something is wrong with my judgement but no there is something wrong with my motorcycle.
Apparently it is leaking gas. What can be the reason? How can i fix it? how much will it cost for me to take it to the bike shop?
From where ?
Petcock ? that means new gaskets and tightening the bolts right - do not over tighten it.
If its the crap pockets, usually you'd have to weld it, and shops refuse to do that.
I can weld and POR 15 it for you, PM me, and I will give you more details.
Cool.

Not sure. I dont know jack about motorcycles
The fuel is leaking out from above the kickstand and running all the way down towards the kickstand
i figured out the problem. Bike is fine. It was my fault
overfilled and running out the overflow tube? first time I did it, I was like WTF?

Ditto,
Also had a cracked fuel hose. Best way to lose $20 of fuel.
why do shops refuse to weld the "crap pockets"?
i was going to try and have someone local do that for me in the next week or two, then i read that...
Cos well .. .gas will light up ... yea, in a world where there is no hot water ... yea you will attempt to weld the tank without getting the gas out 100%.
Or they make more $$$ selling you a "new tank" cos they know in 2-3 years ... they can sell you another tank.
They dont like to do actual work, and they charge you labor for swapping the tank as well.
BTW a leaky crap pocket will be 99.99% effective in draining the tank with no other work involved. Hot water will get the fumes out. Heck a match stick will get the fumes out even better.
