Has anyone ever had condensation/water in there fuel lines?
.... here's the story,
My bike had been sitting for some time (at least 6 monthes). It was parked outside, but covered; bike cover over the bike and a trapped makeshift shelter over that. It did rain alot over the past monthes and the temps from day to night fluctuates alot (SoCal).
Anyways, I went to start the bike the other day and it wouldn't turn over. After some investigation I found a more then reasonable amount of condensation/water in the fuel lines. I've had other bikes parked in similar situations, but never with this outcome.
Question; Could the rain water have made it's way through the gas cap (it's a stock cap)? OR possibly the rain water collected somewhere else?
...this is the only conclusion I can think of, besides normal condension which I don't think I'd of had as much water as there was..
:wtf
