X2, float bowl overflow circuit....completely normal. Some guy on here rigged up a water bottle in his swingarm to catch the gas from the hose so he could "recycle" it. Just a little wasted gas if you don't wheelie too much

man... you know you are cheap and there are hard times all around us, when a guy is "recycling" overflow gas... brutal! lol

That actually isnt that bad of an ideal. 4.05 for gas now. it cvan get exsepnsive. if you wheelie alot then i would do it.
