Alright so while riding and while the bike is parked right after riding, it spits fuel out of the fuel overflow line, which while riding splatters fuel all over the swing arm.

I never overfill the tank, i always fill it just to the ring.

anybody have any suggestions?? any help would be much appreciated

Get a carbon can and route like the CA bike. Problem solved.

I just ordered the 2 lines and canister for mine and it was about $60. I don't know if it takes more than that,but I'll see later.

alright so the california catch might not be the fix.. supposedly the service department has on order for me a 3rd generation version of the vent line plug, that actually... vents. all under warranty.. i'll let you know the results as soon as i get it.. and if you need the product number message me

Just got the last recall done on Loretta yesterday.
Didn't notice any difference in the sidestand, haven't looked at the new dipstick.
I did notice that the LoFuel/CEL bug seems to be gone - YAY!!!!!

They ran the fuel line re-route, but I have no passenger pegs to terminate to.
Max ran it down the Right side and tied-off to the brake M/C.
Looks OK, might just leave it there...

I just rerouted my line Sunday. I ran the vent hose to were the 08's were originally. Down by the front of the muffler. I did add a few inches to keep it away from the muffler. But my darn swingarm is stained from the fuel that leaked on it.

I just put on the california canister and hoses this past weekend. Not a hard job and I think this is the best way to handle the problem. Mine also had the swingarm stained and my driveway stained from leaking gas.

The California Can is the answer.

Aftermarket race devises don't cover this one with factory like fit and finish...even if they did, where are you gonna mount it? LOL!

CaliCan is the answer, IMO.

If you want the carbon can just find a BMW K1200LT owner cause most owners take them off because thay usually cause more problems than they solve. They have a tendacy to suck up water if you ever ride in the rain & the water plugs them so then you end up with a vaccum in the fuel tank & the bike stops due to lack of fuel and if you are real unlucky it collapses the fuell tank, in our case the frame. I think just a catch can would be a much better solution.

I was told, didn't see the printout, that it ended in 05Z.

When I rolled it in to Service we talked about the calibration number.
All I could remember were the last didgits being 03Z, looking for 04Z.

My 1125cr is in in the shop right bc of the "fuel overflow problem". I dont know how they plan to fix it but im hopeful! Though im convinced that its an engineering flaw, I think it has to do with how red hot the rear header gets and its location relative to the fuel tank. Im gunna install some heat shield to the underside of the fuel tank around the header area, and im thinking about getting the headers jet hot coated if the shop mecs are unsuccessful.
