yes the tank comes off as does the air box.
they are all quick release connectors and it is possible it hasn't been pushed home.
that or its dirty and not locking into position properly.
very easy to sort out yourself

Probably nicked one of the little green o rings that seal the QR couplings. About 30p each but that doesnt help you at present does it.
Shouldnt this have been noiced after the belts were changed and the bike run up????
Seems odd to me.

Exactly my thoughts. Tut Tut . Not very good is it.

The bike was delivered back to me this morning with the problem sorted out and a fairly minor apology.
You guys were right in your diagnosis of the fault, the rubber seal, with the main culprit being the dopey mechanic. I'll take her out for a good spin tonight and all this will be forgotton.
Cheers again,

At least its a happy ending.

Good news Deasun, glad you're back on the road.

seated properly - as soon as you "prime" the system (when you turn the key and hear the wirring noise) if its going to leak anymore - it will leak then as the system builds pressure in the fuel lines.

Surprised that they didnt start the bike and check it runs ok anyway after the belt change.

30p per line fix!!!

Very frustrating.
