#21386 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Re:Carb Pukeing-Update 5 Years, 1 Month ago   So it looks like some type of pump issue may be plausible. Maybe the guys in the US need to start notifying the NHTSA http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/ of problems they are having with carb overflow. This way we can see how big of a problem this really is. It would be one way to get Yamaha to stand up and take notice as the NHTSA probably has a low tolerance to gas spewing on a hot engine. It seems to be a bigger issue that the 'occasional' report that I've seen before. Whatever it is due to, it needs to be resolved before not only someones bike goes up in flames (see previous post) but some guy goes up in flames. Musky do you want to put a post on Forum?

It is a big deal even if it only catches fire once. My 2 cents anywho.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #21487 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:Carb Pukeing-Update 5 Years, 1 Month ago   Morning folks Want to keep the ball rolling on Doc's idea. Had 3 people so far do it on the RSR site. Even if you haven't had the issue you can still file a complaint with the NHTSA because of a concern for your safety. You need to be in the U.S. to do this. If there is a similar site in other countries please post the link so others can file.

So at this point I would have to say it was the pump(of course this post could put the hex on it ).   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #28583 confederate (User) The South shall rise again... Junior Boarder Posts: 123 Re:Carb Pukeing 4 Years, 12 Months ago   Hope you found your fix. Mine did it the first day I brought it home. The dealer went through the carb and lowered the float by 2mm. I also had them add a fuel line to the bottom of the bike to prevent it from getting on the hot engine in the event that it should occur again. So far, so good. No problems since they made the adjustment.   Logged     [color = FF0000][/color]   The administrator has disabled public write access.
