Hi, I purchase a 5th gen on ebay about 3 weeks ago. Got it for a good price. It didnt have much fuel when I picked it up and so a few days later filled it up, rode it home and parked it overnight. It proceeded to drip fuel/gas out of what I suspect was the overflow all night. I even put it on the centre stand. When the fuel level got to about 3-4centimetres (1.5inches) below the filler neck it stopped dripping. The previous owner has recently replaced the fuel filter and resprayed it. So I used compressed air and blew out the overflow from underneath. It was full of paint/rust and crap. I thought that i might have solved it. But I'm not that good. Filled her up (below the neck)and last night same thing. I think I now need to lift the tank. I have checked the Clymer manual and think my next step would be to check the air vent hose which is next to the overflow hose underneath. I thought it may be full of crap or kinked. Has anyone had a similar problem or can assist. Thanks![]()
