    Noticed a couple of times that after a reasonable run and leaving the bike stood in the sunshine that there is a bit of a dribble from one of the over-flow pipes below the bike.

    I assume this is the fuel tank vent as it has a slight whiff of petrol about it.

    The Rat forum seems to suggest that vapours can condense in the overflow tube and run out and make a small spot. Only noticed it since the temperature improved so maybe this is the reason.

    Hi Steve, try not filling up the tank all the way, leave room for a bit of expansion.

    I know what you mean Dave, but I'm sure this has happened with a less than full tank. Will keep an eye on things!
