[ST] Help! Gas Leak! Ahhh, it burns!!!!

["Chris Warren" <chrisamywarren@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

No joke, my 2001 ST (1130 miles) started leaking gas just now (on the way 
home from work).  I haven't looked at it yet, because I remembered seeing 
someone else with the same problem recently and because even if I saw where 
it was leaking from I doubt I'd be able to diagnose/fix it.  This is my 
first bike and I've got almost everything to learn.  I'm going outside now 
to take a look, I guess the first thing to do is pull the gas tank (I hope 
there's instructions in the manual).  The leak appeared on the right side 
above the frame rail and below the gas tank.  Other than the fact that it 
soaked through my jeans and burned, that's all I know at this point.  I am 
concerned that if I try to ride it to a dealer (more than 45 minutes away) 
it may catch fire going down the road (wouldn't that be cool to see - from a 
distance of course?).  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

TIA


Chris Warren
