I took my TE449 for an hour spin today and when I got back home I noticed quite a bit of gasoline dripping from a tube underneath the bike. Is this normal for these bikes? If not what would cause this? Thanks!

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

Where exactly was it dripping from, near or just in front of the rear tire? From a small hose, if you follow the hose it should lead to a round one way valve behind the side panel, the valve may be bad or you may have just over filled the tank causing it to overflow out the hose...the valve looks like a small round inline fuel filter mine was green and white. If you took the smog stuff off it is very common to run the line back to in front of the rear tire.

The hose is threaded right in front of the rear suspension linkages. I was able to locate that black valve you mentioned, so it sound like I should just replace that guy? Thanks!
