we were out riding with the 125 and the 250f and when i turned on the gas on the 125 lots of gas started comming out of the tubes of the bottom and all over the ground then stopped. it wasnt over flow. then the end of the day when we were loading the 250f in the trailer gas was constantly dripping out until we turned the gas off. i just started up my bike ran it and turned it off leaving the gas on and no leak?? its about 25 degrees here idk if that would be the problem?? any help??

I would check your float, it is probably stuck...

I would get a manual, or a crash course on an online micro fiche. Then replace both float valves and clean your gas tanks. Something fouled up both float valves. They do wear out, are cheap and easy to install. While you are in there you may find what it was. Drain some of your gas into a clear container, and let it sit for a while. See if anything separates. Put a couple drops of water in it and see what it looks like and does.

u possible have a crack or hole in ur fuel line, or a crack on ur filter. after a bike sits for a month or 2... the gas breaks the rubber on ur line down and it becomes brittle... if it was not the float.. get a replacment line.. and possibly a new filter.
