I already posted this in the YFZ forum but this is general and need to figure this out. I have a problem with my 05 YFZ, doing a RIGHT hand turn, 1st gear on pavement...going about half throttle right before it starts to two-wheel, it will leak gas out of the float bowl. this only happens with a right turn and not left. what can I check and what might be the problem?

try tightening the drain screw below the float bowl all the way (just in case theres dirt in ther)

if you've had the carb apart before, it could be possible that your float needs to be adjusted so there is less gas in the bowl. im not sure what that carb looks like, but maybe the bowl hasnt seated fully to the body of the carb........:ermm:

Agreed. Check the float height is set to spec.

Some overflow leakage at extreme attitudes is normal.
