Motorcycle Repair: 2002 Suzuki Bandit 1200 Fuel Leak, suzuki bandit 1200, bandit tank


Question
I am a novice at bike repair.  On the bottom of my Bandit tank (closest to the seat), I have two hoses running toward the back of the bike.  I have to guess one is a tank overflow hose because when I fill my tank up gas pours steadily from this hose. It will do this until I have about a gallon of gas left and quit.  I'm guessing this is a simple fix, but I'm lost. Could you tell me what causes this problem and how to fix it.  Thanks.

Answer
Hi Kenny,
This one sounds like the hoses have been off and are not re-installed correctly. Check the service manual, it should identify the routing and purpose of each hose. You can find diagrams at several web sites including (www.bikebandit.com).

Terry.
