Hi Pink. I'm new to riding too. I just passed my test in July of 'O8 but since then, I can't get enough road time. My family originates from Co. Kilkenny. Are you from around there? I was born and raised in U.S.A.

Well, as I've said earlier, that's something that me and the Yamaha tech couldn't figure out. Some bikes do it all the time (like mine) and some do not. Some only sometimes. After driving 160 miles to work and back the yamaha tech got it to drip with a heat gun, at less than half a tank...

Just as an update, After being at the dealer for SIXTEEN consecutive weeks, yamaha will be swapping my parts for california model parts. Yamaha recognizes this leak, but does not recognize this as a problem (Which is what they tried selling me on). So if ANYONE is unhappy with having to park...

The same things ran through my head Fudge. But when I met with a regional Yamaha tech we recreated the problem with a heat gun- after the bike had been baking in the 95 degree heat for about eleven hours. Any moisture from the cool night before would've been gone, especially with the size of...

I spoke with the owner of a honda dealer today. He was suprised that yamaha is passing this off as "normal" for this model. He said fuel leaking out of anywhere should be unacceptable, especially from a dealers point of view. He also said what I've been telling Yamaha. "Vapor yes, liquid...

Bring this up BEFORE the warrenty runs out! Yamaha is giving me a big run around. Don't let this go, that's their main arguement. They said that no one really seems to be too concerned about this problem, therefore they're not taking it seriously. I said what if you bought a car that left a...

One more thing, the CA. model has a completely different set up. It supposedly has a box that the vapor is forced into that I believe returns any recondensed fuel back to the tank. They discussed putting that box on mine, but apparently it's not just the box, you'd have to change the entire...

The yamaha tech tells me it's normal, but how could gas comming out of anywhere be normal? It's doing it's job to vent off vapor. Somewhere along the way it's turning back to a liquid. No other bike in the lot at work does this including an '05 FZ6. After seven unsuccessful attempts to fix...

I am new to this forum, but after reading about your fuel problem, I had to sign up. I just purchased a 2008 FZ6 and same problem. My spots were about the size of a cookie. The bike only had about 80 miles on it when it started. The dealer called Yamaha and told me it was faulty shut off...
