Re: Petrol Leak
Started bike this morning and about half a teacup of petrol poured out. Turned off the engine and went and got a torch. Nothing came out when I restarted it but I could see the pipe between the the two throttle bodies was covered in petrol so , it is either coming from above it or spraying on to it. Looks like another strip down next weekend .
I was beginning to think it was the flexible connection where the pipe from the tank enters the throttle body, which is why I can never find anything when the tank is lifted. When you lift the tank the connection obviously swivels. Faulty seal ??
The only other thing I can think of ,is it is something to do with the mechanism that controls the fuel injection equivalent of a choke. This would be why it only happens in the morning after the bike has not been used for a couple of days.
I have spoken to my Suzuki main dealer and they are not aware of any similar problems.I am reluctant to get them to look at it because there is nothing visually wrong ,and so far it has never leaked when the tank is raised.
