There are some spots under the IS where I park it at work. Originally thought they were oil spots from someone else's ride, but today I parked it alittle different jus' to be sure. Got back this afternoon & there's a new spot! I start crawlin' around in the parking lot lookin' under the bike & find they're actually gas spots that are "bleaching" the blacktop, (makes it
look like oil).
I'm sure of these things...........
1) It's comin' from my IS.
2) It's gas.
3) It's comin' from the little hose that's clamped to the back of the kickstand mount.
4) It doesn't do it all the time. (There would be
alot more spots, I always park in the same place.)
4) It never does this parked on my front porch. (Not a drop!)
So............ I've been reading since I got home. Tell me if I'm understanding this right.
This
is the tank vent, correct?
This happens when the tank is full, (or nearly full) & the bike sits in the sun for 8 hours, like today.
It doesn't happen on my porch cause the bike's always in the shade.
This is normal? Or should I worry?
Temporary solution, put bike cover on every day. (They wont let me park inside anymore, since I mod'ed the pipes,
) There is no shade to park in at work.
Long term solution, find another J O B that will let me park inside, haha.
I'm not really too worried. I've never noticed it to do this anywhere else, probably because the bike never sits in the sun unless I'm stuck at work. There's no gas fumes. It's only makin' spots 'bout the size of a quarter & some of that is jus' where it's eatin' the blacktop.
The thing runs like a scalded cat. No hesitations or "fluttering" throttle response. Not acting fuel starved. Jus' flat out screams, clean & mean!
What say y'all? Thanks!
Peace, Whiskey.
