Dropped the bike in the driveway. Now the bike is idling around 1000k and when riding fuel is consistantly coming out of the air box drainage tube. Could it be a faulty petcock?
Also while I am at it the 2 petcock tubes to the fuel tank. Which one connects to which on the fuel tank. If someone could say which one the rear facing tube connects to it would help remove some doubt on the petcocks functionality.
Oh almost forgot its a 05 with 51000kms and stock exhaust and k&N filter in the airbox. Thanks for any help given in advance. Going out to drain the bowls on the carb now as a first step and the carbs have been recently cleaned and replaced all the rubber bits as well as the float needle thingys.
Float stuck in carb,give the float bowl on the bottom of the carb a tap with a piece of wood,or some thing that won`t damage.
The longest fuel pipe should go to the most forward outlet on the tank,put a zip tie on it and you will know which ones which in future.
If tapping it doesn't work(it didn't here), close the fuel from the tank, start the bike and let it run until it dies(and burns all fuel from the carbs).
Or, just drain the carbs....

That was the first thing I tried, then tapping, then decided to try what I said, it was the only thing that worked.
Thanks for the help. Draining the carbs seems to have worked for me this time :D
