Default gas leaking when doing a wheelie!!!!

When i go to do a wheelie on my 300ex gas starts leaking out of it through a small tube on the bottom of it, is this normal? if not how can i fix it?

It is normal.. My scramble does the same thing.. also my bud has a 400ex he was riding a wheelie next to me and gas comes out of his as well...


Its the carbs way of keeping the amount of gas equal when the float is on a odd angel....

I loosley ziptied a bottle(so i can take it on and off without having to loosen them), drilled a hole a size smaller than the hose in the bottle cap, drilled a very small hole beside the one with the hose coming out so when it does fill up with gas, the pressure will be let out of the hole, TRUST ME, you will save LOTS of $$$$ with that bottle, youd be suprised how much gas that thing will catch. Its definately a must.
