the title may suggest a common occurrence but i'm not sure my sitch is.
first time riding the Pani since removing the evap canister.
filled up prior to heading out (did not overfill), rode 10 miles to my first destination....did not notice any drips at my first stop.
went for a 80 mile ride (no stops).....put in a gallon of gas before heading home. arrived at home, parked the bike and noticed that the fuel overflow line was dripping/leaking fluid. that fluid was a tad viscous, and had an light orange hue to it (on my finger). the leaking itself was no more than a handful of drops and then ceased. i shook the bike from side to side in hopes of re-creating the leak (fuel overflow) but i could not. the question is, should i be concerned with the type of fluid it is that i describe or the leak itself? as an aside, the two hoses that were connected to the TOP of the evap cannister (pic below for reference) were both of the same diameter type (1/4in)...the fuel overflow line was the one coming out of the larger evap can circle and which supposedly goes to one of the nipples on the fuel tank, the other hose i capped off (i've removed a host of evap cans). i'd also think that the motor would run very differently if the reverse were true.
thoughts?
thanks in advance,
