Default Fuel leaking when filling up

Hi everyone, first post on this forum so hello to all!

Bit of a problem with my F3.

I had it restricted at the weekend (tank/carbs off)

All was fine until last night when i went to go put some fuel in and strait away i noticed fuel leaking from the bottom middle of the bike.

I took the tank off and checked pipes going to the tank and no obvious leaks there.

Am i right thinking the fuel is coming from the overflow or the carbs?

Anyone had this before?

Thanks Conor.

Yes it could be the overflow and a stuck float, or more likely a gasket. Usually its a float bowl gasket or one of the gaskets between the carbs. You'll have to grab a torch and pinpoint where it's coming from.
