My bike had been sitting on the side stand (don't think that should make a difference) for a couple of weeks when I decided to take a late fall ride. I placed the bike on the center stand, started it, left it on fast idle, and went inside to get my gear. When I returned within about five minutes I noticed a substantial fuel leak on the right side. Not a steady stream but a dripping that created a puddle of fuel on the ground. I looked as best as I could but with the all the plastic in the way there isn't much space to see anything. It did appear to be coming from above the right throttle body. Afraid the bike might catch fire I shut it off and the leak stopped. The fuel tank is a little less than half full, and several years ago I installed aftermarket metal fuel disconnect fittings and added a fuel filter above the air cleaner. I have had no problems with this setup.
Yesterday I removed the seat and right side fairing and started the bike to see where the leak was. No leak! Absolutely dry. Today I repeated the procedure, let the bike run for about ten minutes and still not a trace of a leak. Any ideas?
