dropped bike, broken fuel line?

So yesterday whilst out cruising around the hills of San Francisco, I came to a stop at a lovely uneven street [gasp!] and promptly dropped my bike on the right side. :\

Extremely minor damage, only broke the front right turn signal a bit, and a couple minor scratches... nothing too bad EXCEPT suddenly I was leaking fuel!

Much cursing and self-flaggelation later, I determined that my fuel line had come off of... wherever it is it was supposed to be connected to.

Here's some pictures of the little rubber hose that is now open to the world... I'm assuming it is probably not a very difficult fix, but I can't for the life of me figure out where it connects to.

 

That's the airbox drain hose. You probably put some gas in the airbox when the bike was jelly-side down, and it was coming out of the drain hose as it's supposed to.


The pictured hose connects to the atmosphere.

 

Is it still leaking even after your incedent and you rode it or got it home ? Could be that you overflowed your carbs while on it's side , then it goes out the overflow .
Not too many hoses to trace in the system . Take your seat off , remove the 12mm nut that holds the back of your tank on . Now you should be able to lift the back of your tank to gain access to your petcock . 2 lines coming out of there , large one goes between the 2 carbs on the left of the bike and if I remember correctly the smaller hose does to the same area . Bottom of each carb may have a small overflow tube coming out of it pointed down to the ground in the event of an overflow as you experienced so fuel doesn't get onto anything hot .
2 lines from petcock to carb , and maybe 1 at the bottom of each carb at the fuel bowl

 

Yep , forgot that one

 

When the bike gets loose and pays homage to Gravity. Gravity messes-up as much as it can while Gravity is in control.

The floats stop floating and let gas extra get by. The extra gas leaks out the overflows. Sometimes, a float (or two) will get hung-up and when the bike gets upright ... it stays open. Constant overflow problem and fire hazard.

If you took your lumps and wound-up with a little road-rash ... and the hoses leaked for awhile and then quit ... and you still feel bad about dumping the bike ... that's all NORMAL.

Take your registration out of your wallet. Unfold it ... from it's perfectly folded-over and single-creased sections ... and put a crumple in it.
You're in the "I dumped it" crowd; now.
