Petrol leak!!!
« on: August 09, 2016, 16:04:53 »
I've got a petrol leak from the small pipe that connects the throttle body,  it's about 2 ins long,  after an inspection it looks OK, think it is the one of the two clips that hold it on. Has anybody had this problem??

Many people have had the problem. 8mm or 5/16 fuel injection rated hose and hose clamps will fix it right up. Don't use carb rated hose or worm drive clamps. The line has to stand up to 43psi. Use the type on the left, not the right.



Pat- 2007 DL650A was ridden to all 48 contiguous states. 2012 DL650A outlasted me.
Nicknames I use to lessen typing, Vee = 2002-2012 (K2-L2) DL1000s. Veek=2014+ (L4+) DL1000s. Wee = 2004-2011 (K4-L1) DL650s. Glee = 2012+ (L2+) DL650s
