I believe that is from the needle and seat not sealing or sticking open. Mine still does it on occasions when I have let the carbies run dry but then it soughts itself back out again. It may need to have the carbies stripped?

Look I am even answering questions now  :P

Air filter and fuel

I just fuelled up my bike (XS1100RH) for the first time. Fuel appears to be collecting in the air filter box at a rather alarming amount. Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem. By the way it happens on "PRIME" and "ON".
