okay, i am talking about the green tab on the picture
its not my pic, I took it from here
http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread....=blue+tank
I rode 130km and I was luckely already at my destination...when suddenly I lost all power, oil light went on and looking back I saw a trail of liquid.
When I stood still and wanted to start it again, that went difficultly, I had to rev it to keep it alive but directly after a second or qo I saw and smelled what happened to be fuel spilling from underneath the tank.
It really was pouring fuel all over the bike!!!!!!
Me and the guy I met with, someone from a local board who admired the CB and wanted to see one, figured it out quit fast but I did call road assist just in case.
They confirmed the fuel line was lose and fixed it in like 5 seconds
since we already had the tank lifted.
The mechanic said its 'clicked' in place now...and seeing its a new bike he wasn't surprised to see this issue arise...
It happens....sometimes....on new bikes.
Bad plugin from the factory perhaps?
This is how it looks after reconnection:
I rode home
and could not let go what happened, so I took another look and I moved that first black rubber thing a but further in over the green.
I didnt take a picture of it as of now.
But I reaaaaaally would like to see a good picture of a normally connected fuel line.
Just for my own peace of mind....
I could not see how the mechanic clicked it in place.
The problem is you cannot take a very good picture of a connected fuel line with the tank in the way.
But surely someone has better skills than me in taking a picture of that part?
Thx a million in advance!!
