Post by: MNgs500 on June 29, 2012, 08:57:34 AM
Ok this morning i was getting my bike ready for my road test and noticed gasoline on the ground right under my bike. it was a good size puddle and can tell it is from it for sure. What could it be??? Just started to leak i have it for about 5 weeks. Also on the left side of that engine block there is oil on it?????? Help like to find the problem now before it gets worse!!!

Stuck float? Someone else may have to chime in on this one! Can you tell where the gas is coming from?

Petcock left on "prime"? Or the diaphragm failed and it's allowing gas to flow all the time. Don't try to start the bike without pulling the spark plugs out - good change your cylinders (and oil) are flooded with gas.

The oil could be a lot of things - you'll need to figure out where it's coming from.
