Leaking gas when doing wheelies and 12's

Does your bikes leak gas everywhere when your doing wheelies and 12's?? I noticed gas all over the motor and fairing after a couple days of doing wheelies... I was thinking about, and on my bike ( carbureted GSXR ) the carbs are almost upsidedown during a wheelie.. I'm not sure about the new FI bikes..

I gotta 01 600 and I had pants that looked like I pissed myself. Mine was leaking out the gas cap though, not the carbs.

Sounds like you have a cap seal problem.. There is a over flow tube connected to the tank that routes over flow fuel from the cap area..

01 Gixer 600 is fuel injected not carbureted..


To me it seems that fuel injection bikes would be better for stunting because you don't have fuel sitting in a float bowl waiting to go into the engine.. FI bikes have all its fuel being shot right into the engine..
