    Hi all, so I went for a ride out at the weekend and thought I'd better top up with petrol. Pulled into the garage filled up just a bit more than usual went and paid but on returning to the bike I had a petrol leak from a rubber pipe which ends near the side stand. I'm guessing its the overflow but it's not in the owners manual.

    Yes, there is an overflow pipe and overfilling can cause small leaks. If I fill the Tiger full and then leave it in the sun the heat causes a small overflow from the pipe due to expansion.
