Perhaps it's the 100+ degree weather we've been having or just the design of the bike but I noticed Saturday at our little BBQ get together in TX that every bike was vending some fluid from the 2 front hoses - gas vapors I assume.
The two up front, they're connected to the gas tank and come out on the left side of the bike, these are the two you pull out of the little clamp if you need to lift the tank.ColoRider said:Joe,
Which hoses?

I'll have to check mine - the next time we have 100+ temps here.................Mellow said:The two up front, they're connected to the gas tank and come out on the left side of the bike, these are the two you pull out of the little clamp if you need to lift the tank.
That's okay... you know what they say about paybacks... I'll reply around January.ColoRider said:I'll have to check mine - the next time we have 100+ temps here.................
(that was a cold thing to say - sorry)
Ouch - I guess I deserved that..............Mellow said:That's okay... you know what they say about paybacks... I'll reply around January.
I noticed a couple of drops when just below those hoses when I (dare I say it) trailered my Tenere home. I figured it was the fuel sloshing around in the tank that made it out the hoses. Still, that shouldn't have happened that easily. Typically there's a few bends on the inside of the tank on the vent line to prevent this.Mellow said:Perhaps it's the 100+ degree weather we've been having or just the design of the bike but I noticed Saturday at our little BBQ get together in TX that every bike was vending some fluid from the 2 front hoses - gas vapors I assume.
I am assuming you do not have a California bike? If so, this fuel drip is first filling up your charcoal cannister. This could create an issue with the tank not being able to vent properly if you fill the cannister up with fuel. Hard start and stalling will manifest with a really full one.stevepsd said:Mine is doing that as well now that I brought the bike down to the 110F heat of the desert. The bike inside my shop, but it is still over 95F during the day.
It is definitely gas that is dripping, but mine is only dripping out of one of the hoses. It has done it for the past 2 days, so tonight I have left the gas cap popped open slightly and will see if the dripping stops.
