So I started my bike yesterday to go out for a ride and let it sit for a while to warm up. When I walk out of the garage I notice a puddle of gas under the bike. I looked to try to find out where it was coming from and it kind of looked like it was dripping out of a hose, like one of the breather hoses coming out of the gas tank, but not coming from the gas tank. very confused and looking for some help! thanks all

 

Float needles could be worn, not sealing properly... Flooding one of the carbs and leaking out the overflow

 

that sounds wonderful...

 

No big deal, just replace the needles

 

how tough of a job is that? or should I just take it to a shop?

 

If you can pull the carbs out on your own, it's a piece of cake.

 

I feel like I should mention I only have this problem when the gas is on...when i let it warm up with the gas off it doesn't leak...still think its the float needles?

 

The float bowels can't over fill if it can't get gas. it's not a hard job to do.

 

is it possible for this problem to get worse? I was planning on waiting it out till i get the money to send it in to get it fixed but its turned into a constant spewing of gas, much worse than when it originally started. Looks like I'm out of commission till I can send it in
