Probably not the best time to post on the eve of the track day (enjoy it
all the lucky ones who are going, and I hope the weather is fine for you!)
Gave my bike a thorough wash and clean-up Sunday morning to remove
Hampshires road grime after Boozy's tour. The sun was shining today, went
to the petrol station to fill up, lifted the fuel cap and horror - loads of water
there !!! Dried it out with the garages wipes, but obviously something isn't
right here :mad:
As far as I can see there is a recess with a drain hole in it which presumably
connects to some pipework inside the tank, which then exits via one of
2 outlets on the bottom right rear of the tank (right as you sit on it).
So is there a blockage/kink/whatever ?
Just wondering if anyone has been here before. Guess I'll have to go back
to the dealer as it's still in warranty, but I've more faith in you peeps...
Also, do they need to remove/loosen the headlight in an intermediate service or was it pure co-incidence that I could hear this horrible little rattle every
time I hit a bump after picking the bike up, and that one of the headlight
retaining screws was very loose ?
Thanks in advance, and again, have a real great time at Mallory !
