March 27, 201115 yr sorted you dont have a ebay link for it do you Just a thought, could you not find a bolt of the right size to bung up the pipe to stop it leaking? I did this on a unused vacuum hose on my supermoto once and it worked a treat.

March 28, 201115 yr You could put the front wheel up on the work bench (Workmate vice is best)...assuming it would leak out of the fuel cap like that... But I really think the extra in-line tap is your best option. Best of balance. Neo
March 28, 201115 yr Dead easy. When you pull the pipe off the carb squeeze the pipe and it will obviously stop the fuel coming out. I just push a philips screwdriver into the end of the pipe and job done.
