Has this happened to anyone else?

Second day on bike. Absolute noob. Bike cuts out at lights. Manage to get it going again for another 15 metres or so and park safely.

Ignition works but throttle gives nothing so I assumed it wasn't the battery.

Call a friend and he says my fuel must of run out. I check tank with a torch on my phone and it looks empty, but with no warning light on my screen!

I get talking to a guy at the side of the road who has very kindly offers me some petrol.

I pour the the petrol in and he shouts 'Stop!, it's leaking'.

So we look below and sure enough petrol is leaking from a tube coming from the tank (i think).

We look around a bit and find another tube which is slightly thinner in diameter. We then spend 10 mins trying to shove the thinner tube into the thicker one. The throttle now works! So we tape it up with some cello tape from the shop opposite (lol). 10 minute drive home.

On closer inspection this morning I then find that the other end of the thin tube is now disconnected, probably from me pulling on it to push it into the thicker one. So I have no idea how I managed to get home? Maybe it disconnected right at the end of my journey.

Anyway they are both reattach but just through force and tape. I'm going to take them to a garage to get some proper clips to hold them in place.

Any other advice?

It's a 2011 Derbi GPR 125 btw, with only 3000 miles.

one of them tubes is probably your breather so it only needs to be attached at the tank, the other one is probably fuel line. there should be a vacuum somewhere too, what it sounds like is someone has had the tank off and not put the pipes back properly, get yourself a manual and sort it yourself, it'll be a lot cheaper.
