low pressure return fuel hose leak

[aksel13]

Hi All

I put my battery back on sunday and removed the fuel tank for doing this job. I attached the hoses as usual without any hassle after putting tank back. i did a test ride this evening till the petrol station to fill up the tank and noticed that it is leaking from the low pressure return hose. i checked the hose and seems fine ,no crack or else.
what might cause this leak?

i reconnected and tried to seat it correctly back again but once i start the bike it leaks again.
is there any trick to attach them back or do i need any new part ?

I searched on the forum but there are various leakage problem that doesn't cover my problem.

You need to replace the o ring.

I haven't the number to hand but make sure you get a Viton one, get a couple of spares while you're at it as they do fail and particularly if your not super careful reconnecting.

Put rubber grease on them or at least some spit

Probably the o-ring but the plastic male QD has been know to crack so check it out.

Not sure if it's exactly the same, but I can remove and replace the battery on my 1100 without removing the tank or disconnecting anything, just remove the retaining bolt and raise the tank and prop with a suitable length of 2x1 timber (about 6 or 7 inches long)

I'm sure I've seen brass (?) quick disconnects on sale somewhere.

How easy to change those o rings. Does it require any special attention or tricks?

10 seconds to change once the connectors are apart.
All will become clear when apart.
Good idea to lube them slightly too.
