If the float sticks with the valve in the open position, it should come out of the overflow spout at the bottom, unless that's blocked. Then, it'll just flood the carb/engine. I'd put money on a fuel line leak further up, or the fuel tap, and that it's just running down to the carb body.

Only ever read good stuff about the F800GS. From what I've seen on YouTube, it's one of those bikes you get if "you know". Congratulations.

Hello and welcome to the forum. Welcome also, to a new world of excitement and wonder. Not to mention a new drain on your wallet

Good morning

Congratulations! That's a great blue

Welcome to the forum...

Respect.... And glad you had what looks like a great day.

Yes, they seemed bomb proof, probably why the were the despatch riders choice, in the days when cities were full of despatch riders showing off their skills. Followed by the Kawasaki GT550 (I had one that did run).

Seeing a thread about a CX500 frame reminded me.... 35 years ago, I swapped a fish tank for a non-running CX500, but I never had the time to get it roadworthy. I had a DT125 so wasn't desperate to get it going. A "friend" of my neighbour offered to take it of my hands, and I my girlfriend's mum was glad to see it gone. Two weeks later, bang bang bang on the front door at 03:00, coppers wanting to arrest bleary eyed little me for some robbery or something, they reckoned they'd chased me up the Uxbridge road on that CX500

Very neat and tidy

Good morning

Thanks @Geordie OldieI'll have a look at Readly. Thing is with magazines, they offer too many opportunities to spend money.

Maybe there's nowhere for them to plug in their tool.....

That's excellent, are you a life coach? If not, you should be...

A great idea, and very generous. Probably half the price of B&B, and you don't have to lug it all about.

Going to be nice tomorrow, have a good time

Good morning

Have a good time.

You need to fit a rack to the moped. Maybe Yadea supply one?

Looks like it missed us, thank goodness

What about a tractor driver? I could do with a change

Wow, fantastic read, really rather jealous.

Why not keep the Forza, and get a smaller bike as a "run about"?

Lucky sod, just think of all that beer consumption....
