Title: Gas leaking
Post by: Sarkonix on October 16, 2015, 01:38:34 PM
So starting earlier this week I started noticing little gas pools/stains (about size of hand) under my bike in the mornings.
The idle adjustment is wet along with the openings next to the screws(carb drains?) and the black hose that is next to my clear gas line.
Obviously it is dripping down onto whatever the black thing is under it also.   

Here are some pictures. http://imgur.com/a/78ubB

Any ideas on what is causing this?

Yes, you have a fuel leak :laugh:.
Clean the carbs off with some soap or degreaser and let them dry, then sprinkle some talc on them. It wont take you long to see where its leaking from.

I guess I will take it if its going to need carb work.
Was hoping it was just a hose or a screw was missing or something easy haha.
