Bigger tank on a Mk2 isn't it? Mk1 is only 15 litres to reserve. 64mpg is pretty impressive though.

Right! Listen up Toobs Team
Since Tuesday there has been an strong smell off petrol when the bike is in the garage.
Also, Since Tuesday, the bike has been, well dying when cruising along, by this I mean in 4th/5th steady throttle. She starts to 'die'. when you add a ltlle more throttle she is still hesitant.
Fine on tickover, fine on heavy throttle
and that smell of petrol. (nothing on paper towel overnight)
What's going on Team?

could be a sticking float in the carbs try switching fuel tap off when parking up in garage see if that stops the smell.

Back.
Had a further look. Found the rubber tube that is dripping fuel down the left/nearside of the engine. It seems to run up toward the tank. Here, have some pics to play with:-
