Hi, New here so not sure if this is the right place for this thread. Just got a 2006 Blade. On opening the filler cap I found what seems to be water with a slight fuel smell that's not draining away. Bike has been out in the rain/ washed. How does this area drain away? Internal pipe in tank? External hose? Not even sure how to get the tank cover off the thing. Lol, waiting on a Manual coming before I break my plastics. Seen there was a problem with the tank on this model, hoping this is not related. PS bike is on its side stand. Will see what I can find tomorrow. Cheers for any input.
not sure about drain, but tank cover removal is easy 2 bolts by steering damper,2 bolts under seat and pull the cover off.
There's a drain hole you should be able to see when you pop the cap, on the lhs iirc. This has a pipe that goes out to be the clutch cover. Pipe may be kinked or the hole blocked
Yep, drain pipe crushed under the tank. Not long enough to reach the metal ring next to the side stand. Need to try and reroute it. Is the tank just 4 bolts and remove the bracket that is across the subframe?
All sorted, drain pipe now in the ring next to side stand and a puddle under the bike. Let's hope the last guy didn't get water in the fuel tank. Thanks guys.
