After an evening ride last night, this morning I put my ST on the centre stand and drip drip drip.I found the problem right side hose . >:() :-(((  :well
 I'll have to pull him apart tonight and dread dread lift off the carbi's and  fix him before friday to do my 1st FarRide to Mallacoota.
  :think1 This will be a learning curve for me,, hopefully I succeed after reading all the relavent posts I could find. I'm goin cut the hose add a pipe and trim of the end thats bugger'd , reconnect to elbow...as a quik fix and if I remember I'll take some pix  :thumbs
wish me luck.
