Default Hello Stranger!!
Hello Stranger

Hope you get this resolved easily Joe, whip the lower plastics off and you'll be able to see where it's coming from.

Howdie, Hawk, and Sprock and Dave and Tim etc.

Well the weather just went to hell again, so I might actually take a look, since I won't have much else to do.

Giday Joe ...
Great to hear that yu still alive and kickin mate !!

Definitely check yu oil man .... if it was mine doing that chit , I would do a mandatory oil and filter change just in case any fuel got down into the big ends .... hope yu didnt run her for too long when she started leaking ?...

Petrol on floor = messy , petrol in oil = not freaking good

and hey , why not have a tinker with her if the weathers crap , lets face it , what damage could you do mate .... the mind boggles !! LOL

So you think she did this out of spite? Hadn't thought of that. I am appropriately chastised. OK, seafoam and an oil change it is. That's step 1.

Same thing happened to me after working on my recent purchase of an '87 CBR1000F that sat for 4 years. Gas poured out of the carbs when I tried to start it. Now I know why and will use info found in this post to fix. All I need now is to find out why I am getting no spark. By the way, anyone have an extra right side handlebar control that has the start button?

Hey Joe,

Good to see you back on the keys!

C'mon man, there's more to cosmetics than just running your combe through the paintwork once in a while and gelling the screen up a bit.

All of the above and if all else fails, there's always the guy. Hope you get her ready for some decent Texas weather for ridin'.

I've sorely missed your humour around here.
