Where is the fuel? Lifted fuel tank.
Lifted up fuel tank for first time ever....was very mistaken.
That big huge tank....covers the air filter.....the fuel buggers off down some aluminium space bag to an unknown place of magic.....someone with knowledge...explain. |

Re: Fuel Tank.
Whatty what? The fuel tank carries some of it's load right in front of your crotch area.
It's quite a normal tank afaik. |

Re: Fuel Tank.
Well, I always thought that the fuel tank you see on a bike...stores all the fuel, giving it to the engine when you are on the throttle....But underneath, is just the air filter, with a bag that collects the fuel and pipes take it down to the middle of the bike! Weird...well its not weird, probably normal on ALL bikes, but I have never noticed.

Re: Fuel Tank.
If you've got a bag collecting fuel then there's something extremely wrong going on there.
Take some pics of this bag and post them here when you have to lift the tank again. |

Re: Fuel Tank.
rofl
 all the fuel is stored in the tank...... tell you what take the tank off, pull off all the connectors (no fuel does not just poor out) and give the tank a shake, i think you might just find theres fluid called fuel in there
