Question cbr1000f-k 89 fuel leak.

bike running ok but leaking fuel while running,its coming from a pipe that comes from the carbs and runs near the battery to nothing,(breather maybe),thought one of floats might have stuck,gave all carbs a tap to float area but still leaking from pipe,any ideas ?

I'd still be working on the stuck float theory or even a dirty needle and seat. You may have to drop the float bowls to have a look or at the very least drain them all with the fuel tap on off.
I had this on a bike in Vietnam and a complete drain fixed the problem.

Let us know how you go.

Cheers,SB
