Default 675 blowed up

Dammit, motor died on a side street and it dumped its gas all over the street. I'm hoping it's just a cut fuel line, but part of me wonders if it's related to that time I forgot to check the oil and found that I'd done a trackday with it a quart low. Hope my motor isn't kaput.

Autopsy tonight, argh.

we. can. rebuild. it!

I can't imagine the motor being gone. Sounds like a burst fuel line to me! Good luck Sean.

I agree.

Pissing gas wouldn't lead me to assume a blown motor.

The plastic clip that secures the fuel line to the fuel pump is finnicky. Have to pulled or lifted the tank recently?

That was my thought too...yes, yes I have. And I haven't ridden it since then.

Well that was easy. The fuel hose just popped off the fitting.

Crisis averted.

With the luck I've been having this year, I just assumed the bike was totaled, and probably my car and two rooms of my house as well.

Always good when it's something easy.
