Hi guys,
So my 99 900RR has been sitting for about a year and a half. The other day I fired it up as I was going to take it for a spin. Next thing I know, all I can smell is gas. I then see gas dripping from the bottom of the bike. After taking the bike apart, I discovered that the leak is at the carb.
Better yet, the fuel line comes off the tank to a "T" connection. The "T" connection has two hoses that go in between carbs 1 & 2, and 3 & 4. The connection in between the carbs can swing up and down. It's that connection in between carbs 3 & 4 that's leaking.
The manual describes it as a "Three-way fuel joint pipe", that has o-rings on either end of it and goes into carbs 3 & 4. I suspect one or both of those o-rings has gone bad.
Has anybody experienced this? Do the carbs HAVE to be separated in order to fix this part?
Thanks.
