RE: [ST] Fuel leak

It will be the fuel fitting on the side of the tank I had the same problem.
It amazes me that they would make a fuel fitting like this out of plastic as
it is so thin. Mine just broke and my tank had not been taken off at that
stage. I ended up machining up a brass fitting as I did not want this to
happen while I was on a Trip

Just pull your side covers off and turn the ignition on you will see where
it is leaking when the fuel pump builds up pressure

I checked my VIN number (121584) against all the Triumph recalls I can find.
My bike is not in the "affected" range yet it's leaking gas.  It's an
intermittent problem, sometimes a few drops, other times a puddle.  The leak
seems to be coming from way up under the gas tank and leaks on the right
side of the bike.  Removing the plastic wouldn't help to trace it.  I've
scheduled service with my local dealer (whom I did NOT purchase it from) and
they want me to bring it in as soon as possible.  I know how dangerous this
is so I'd take a day off from work to get it done.  Soonest appointment?
Twenty days.
