So I had my bike running and riding about a week ago, I have a tender I keep it hooked up to. Ive still been working on some cosmetic things so I only take it around my neighborhood here and there but I had it running great! Well I go to start it up for a ride today and it would turn but not fire up. So I kept at it and eventually it stopped turning over altogether... I gave it time in between trys thinking I forgot to hook it up to the tender so id let it charge. But like I said now it will hardly turn when I try it a couple times even after a few hours of sitting. Now after only a couple trys then it won't turn at all. The lights will eventually dim low and the tail light will go out like the battery is dead but when I hook it back up the tender will say its charged in a matter of minutes and the lights Will be back and bright. Its only after trying to e start it a couple times to the point where it wont even turn (2-3 trys) that they go dim again. Its a new battery so im almost positive thats not it. However i believe I flooded the engine due to the fact I looked up that the spark plugs when unscrewed will have a bit of gas on them, (they did) also I believe its leaking a little gas from this tube on the right side of the bike (im not very mechanically smart when it comes to bikes so I took pictures) and on the left side there seems to be some gas leaking from somewhere, possibly the same tube. I was so close to getting it finally insured and registered. If anyone can help please let me know. Its now sitting without the sparkplugs to see if I cant get the gas on the plugs and in the socket to evaporate If it is flooded how do I go about fixing it? If it is, would it affect the electronics like that? Any questions please feel free to ask. Any help would be very appreciated.
If I did it correctly I attached the pictures of the tube that I believe where the gas is coming from and the gas thats starting to show up on the left side of the bike. I apologize for spelling errors or strange sentance structure, im on my crap cell phone. Thanks again
