Default Leaking gas??

I woke up this morning to the smell of gas in my house and found a small puddle of gas under the bike in the garage. I have not even started it in over a month!!! Is she that mad at me that she "pissed" on my garage??

Any ideas why this happened.

Have you even looked at the bike to see if you can tell where its coming from? could be anywhere, carb bowl, fuel lines, petcock....

if the float needle isn't seated, the carb can overflow like that...
the float and it's needle valve stops the flow of gas which is running downhill (gravity feed).

Was the fuel cutoff open or closed?

Turn off the fuel petcock when you park the bike.
