    Hi all, 2012 cbr 1000rr. bike fell over today, no damage to bike apart from, j now have a massive gas leak, 99% sure it’s from under tank so hopefully crimped pipe or fuel pipe retainer broke, come loose. Any other possibilities? Hoping not serious..

    Maybe it’s just fuel that went into the overflow? Has it stopped leaking now? How fast was the leak?

    Hi, thanks for reply, no it’s pissing out all down side case running down chain swingarm etc etc, only leaks when ignition on, (bad anyway) priming doesn’t sound the same but it’s clearly working, I can still hear it and it’s pumping fuel when ignition on. It’s like the hole pipe has come of tank but bike still run fine until I noticed so not being starved of fuel.

    You will need to raise the tank and have a look. Won't be hard to find if it's "pissing out".
