petcock leak

Post by markwhitegb » Sun Sep 28, 2008 5:10 pm

I had my clutch repaired . When I got the bike back the fuel tank was empty. I filled up at the nearest gas station. When I got home the gas was dripping out of the petcock. It stops when the petcock is in the fuel OFF position. Maybe the guy who fixed the clutch put the tank down to heavily on the ground damaging it. Any suggestions how I should go about remidying this problem.

"The stock fairing and tank, though, are no big deal to remove. Then again, I compare that to a PC800, and anyone who's unfaired one of _those_ knows exactly what I'm talking about. :(" +2 - BTDT. One big reason I don't want a full touring bike like a BMW RT. Peter

Repairing the clutch should not have nothing to do with fuel tank or petcock. Check to make sure the hoses are connected properly. Otherwise, I'd call the technician and ask what they did and explain the problem. Sounds to me like some funny business or something unusual. If you end up fixing it yourself, you'll have to figure out where exactly it's leaking. Disassembly is pretty straight-forward.
