Anyone notice there 50 leak a little fuel or oil when at 12? I was think'n of making a bar for mine, and when I set it at 12 to take some measurements it started dump'n a little bit of gas. Pumped out some oil a couple times too, but I think that was after I looped it . Just curious if anyone's noticed the same?

 

If your tank is pretty full, it's gonna come out the overflow tube I suppose.

 

Sorry, I sould have been more clear. It looks like it comes stright from the carb. I noticed it driping off the back of the motor and frame.

 

you have to much oil in ur bike if its coming out the hose on the motor...no matter what ya say.

 

Yes. The overflow tube goes through the steering stem, which, at 12:00, is right over the motor, so the gas drips onto the motor from the end of the tube and runs down to the lowest point, and eventually drips off the motor.

 

I've had the same problem. I'm pretty sure it's leaking out the hose. Does anyone know how to fix it?

 

its coming from the carb, there is no way to fix it. the bike isnt designed to be running at 12:00 all day long. just deal with it

 

Yeah, it's deffinatly coming from the carb. I guess the bowl is just spilling over at that angle. OH, well.

 

I know they make egg shaped floats for the ex 400. Im sure someone makes em for the fity. On the 400 itll runn on the grab bar without fuel starving or dumping from the overflow.

 

I took the drain hose on the carb. and stuck it where the clip thingy for the electrical plug goes. That way it's above the carb. when wheeling. But if its doing it a 12, it's probably coming out the carb. intake and leaking out the filter. Mine does it.

 

Just keep on the throttle and it won't be a problem.

You guys are fools if you're askin this question. There is an overflow commin out the back of the carb and over the air filter. If you look you would easily see the hose. There is also one down near the front left of the engine. If gas was comming out through the air filter I doubt the machine would even run after you soaked the filter.

There is no way to fix this. I was thinking of taking a little plastic bottle thing and attaching the hoses to em. Then at the end of the day take all the gas in the bottle and put it back in the engine. No spillage either...

 

Your right, but just take the overflow tube and play it where it''l be higher than the carb. bowl when wheeling.
