  • Fuel Leak

    Just bought an xs11 1980 special. My first bike. Fuel is leaking from somewhere under the right fuel petcock. I have not removed the tank (tomorrow). Does anyone have suggestions on a fix. Even in the off position, fuel is dripping at a drop every two or three seconds. Dripping gets worse when the petcock is in the on and reserve position.

    It might be the rubber gasket in the petcock.Take it apart and you might be able to clean it up and reuse it.If not you can get a rebuild kit for it.Also the o-ring between petcock and tank can leak.

      If tank is not rusted out,
      then one of these should solve problem.
