    pull gas tank question

    Hey guys, is the tank vacuum sealed? i.e. if i pull the hoses will the gas leak? i am used to my R6 where it had a quick disconnect and no gas (well very little) would come out when i took it off. I hate that the RC does not have any quick disconnects down there given its "race ready" tag. So...

    Found this crack today

    Any clue what this is or the cause of the crack. 2200 miles. Smells almost of gas. Looks to be attached to the snorkel going into the throttle body. When I first saw it the area around the crack was visibly wet and the liquid smelled like gas. Is this just the liquid drain area for the gas...

    390 fuel gauge reserve

    The manual says the gas tank holds about tel litres of gas. On my bike the low fuel warning goes off at the last wedge of the gauge and the display shows about 50 .km to go on reserve. When I fill it to the top at this point it only takes about 6.5 litres? That means there should be 3.5 left in...
