Throttle body leaking?
« on: June 04, 2021, 04:40:46 PM »
Any ideas on what I should look for?  After riding my Sport 1100 I get a drop or 2 of gas on the floor and it appears to come from the left throttle body.

Maybe a seal on the injector fuel line leaking.

        A great place to start is this tutorial from Bill Havins on rebuilding and re sealing your throttle bodies. As Wayne said it may be a leaking injector but it shouldn't leak out either. Most older FI's do weep a little.  Hope this helps.                      https://wildguzzi.com/forum/index.php?topic=73658.0
