Where does the fuel leak show itself with the fuel pump/flange problem?
I went for a ride today and fueled up during the ride. I rode about 25 miles from the gas station to my home and parked the bike on the side stand. When I walked over to the left hand side of the bike, I noticed a puddle of fuel on the garage floor. The puddle was just to the rear of the side stand and I could see the fuel dripping out onto the floor from somewhere up above, but could not pinpoint an exact location.
I placed the bike on the center stand and the leak subsided to an occasional drip that deposited just to the rear of the left side center stand foot.
Since the garage was reeking of gasoline and I have a gas hot water heater in there, I thought it wise to park the bike outside to avoid any fire hazard.
My question is: Is this type of leak symptomatic of the potential fuel pump/flange defect? I received the recall letter, but will need to wait until Tuesday to call the dealer.
Anyone else experienced this fuel leak?
