Default how do I keep water out of my kfx700

I keep getting water in my gas without even taking it off of the road. I go no where near water and it still gets in my gas. Where in the world is it coming from?

If the cap is on good and the hose's are tight I would suspect the fuel source. Has all the gas came from the same gas station? Clean it out real good use gas from a different source and see what happen's if that doesn't work I don't know what to tell you. I have gone through some deep water on my V and have had no water related problem's.

How do you know it's water in your gas? have you poured some out? or is the bike behavienig like it has water in the gas....? I would look at your carbs to make sure they are fine. cycling some tanks of gas will remove any water in your tank. I would throw some addidive to your tank.

It has to be your source. Try another supplier.

If this is a fairly new gas station you are going to. that would explain it. NEVER get gas off a new station
for at least a month. The new tanks always have some degree of water in them.

If it is not a new station, they are getting water infiltration into their tanks from ground water or
runoff. They may also be leaking gas into the ground. Take the gas back to them and raise some h*ll. Document the water problem and get some witnesses. Inform your state EPA about it to.

If the water causes mechanical problems with your vehicles, you have grounds for a lawsuit if they
do not agree to fix it.
