So I just picked up my M696 last Monday and I've been riding around the neighborhood (newb) and yesterday I went out for a ride and the gas light came on.  I've only put 25 miles on the clock...I'm trying to give my dealer the benefit of the doubt and assume that they just forgot to fill it up before they dropped it off...   Anyway I go out to the store today to get a gas can and then filler up.  When I got home and started putting gas in it, I noticed a small amount of condensation underneath my bike.  I leaned over to smell it and sure enough it's gas...should I be concerned enough to take it back into the dealer/can I still ride it?  It's not a lot of gas but definatley has been dripping slowly from somewhere...


Thanks for the help,

Roy

Well I just went back out to inspect the leaking again...definatley condensation leaking from what appears to be a rubber hose.  It looks like it is supposed to allow some sort of seapage...what I first thought was gas (probably becasue I had gas all over my hands  [roll]) is really just some sort of water or other fluid...does anyone know what this could be?  I will post pics as soon as I can.

Thanks,

Roy

There is an overflow drain hose from the filler cap to the bottom of your bike.  It's possible that they hosed the bike down to wash it, and this is just the leftovers from that.  If it continues, then it's an issue.
