leaking gas

[chris 400ex uk]

how do i stop gas (fuel) from leaking out of the overflow on my 400ex when im doing wheelies etc. it pours out of the left side on to the foot rests.

is their a mod to prevent this or do i have to just live with loosing gas all over the road?

cheers regards chris:devil:

What year is your bike? If it is a 00 or older, the carb will leak gas. Put the tube between the swinger, and the engine so it isn't leaking on your feet. I'm getting a newer style carb, so it doesn't leak as much. The 01's and newer barely drip, while the 00's and older leak like crazy.

it is a 2000. so i just have to live with it or put a newer carb on! :)

thanks chris

Exactly. I hate living with it, because I can go through a tank of gas in about an hour in some tight trails, where the front is always up.
