Hi Everyone,
I have a 98 GL1500 SE with a new Roadsmith Kit. I have a problem that developed when I put my first tank of gas in it. It is leaking gas on the left side after I come to a stop and there is a small puddle on the ground. I thought I had overfilled the tank so next time I made sure I did not. Same thing. After a while of riding on that tank the leak stops unless I make a hard right turn and it starts leaking again. My dealer removed the wheel and retightened the connectors for the gas line but that did not fix the problem. I live on an island and don't have much of an oppertunity to ride a few hundred miles to take it to a Roadsmith dealer. I tried to get a look under it but it is too low to the ground to see much.
I did notice that the filler cap tube has 2 nipples on it at the fill end. One of them has a hose connected and going somewhere but the other is just open. I wonder if that is where the leak is coming from and if I should try and block it off.
I was wondering if anyone else has this type of tank and there is an open nipple at the top as well. Thanks for any info.
