FIND IT:gaah::shocked: ! Naked spyder time & or dealer before end of year. Please
But would need a bit more info to guestimate.... like where the drip shows up under the spyder..? :agree: may have to pull panels to see if it is coming from the tank/fuel pump... fuel filter, evap canister, fuel cap area or more forward around the throttle body intake area. :dontknow:
This needs to be found and corrected NOW. Not later. Very dangerous. Do not be the next Spyder-B-Que...
Absolutely. This is not normal and is potentially very serious and dangerous.Quote:

Any update??Quote:

I have the same problem. I am getting ready to strip bike down to find the leak. when sitting on bike, hubby got down on my right side of bike, middle front. which side is the fuel filter on, right side (while sitting on bike). Fuel filter is on the right side of bike. One of the clamps to the Y was not tight....cleaned it up and put on red thread locker. no leak. The Y is part no. 709000453 for $11.88 you can find them cheaper at a hose supplier store. the y is for a 7.99 mm hose. the fuel filter is 219800056 $19.49 ride now. Ride now sells 6ft of fuel hose for $25Quote:
