FUEL OVER-FLOW/LEAK and FUEL TYPE

#1 Unread post by silentx »

What type of fuel to use?


also I topped Out my tank the other day...I mean to the CAP...:oops:

And it started over flowing.. and it over flew for along time.. I mean a long time.. over nite and next day morning. Today I opend the gas tank and it was way down...slightly below the hump like thing in the middle of the tank


Is this normal? or may be a Leak?


by the way I use "Super" gas.. I heard its better... for bikes... ( only 4 gal anyways.. so cost isnt much)

thx in advance

check your owner's manual for the suggested type of gas. anything higher octane is a wasted, but feel free to put it in if it makes you feel better...

You're not suppose to overfill the tank. you leave room so that the gas can expand when it heats up (like when the sun hits the tank)
