Default TOO MUCH GAS??

I AM wondering if I am putting too much gas in my 04 r6 because I filled up yesterday and that afternoon I saw gas leaking from one of the tubes on the left side of the bike. Not a steady dip but very very slow. And it was 101* yesterday

yes, you put too much in.

gas will expand under heat and what happend was the gas expanded and had to go somewhere and it went out that tube(s). That is why the engineers at yama put that tube there.

make sure you only fill up to the bottom of the neck. if you fill it too much you will in effect be wasting gas.
