This video save me 700 dollars good on yaou man!

Mann been dealing with this single little Bi*chass leak for 6 months keeping me from my R1! Even after replacing the nipple O ring and smothering it in fuel glue it STILL leaks. Realize now I think I forgot to put the 2nd O ring on the inner nipple piece 🙃. But there's gotta be a way to just drill a metal piece in place and call it a dam day. Ughhh Yamaha you sucked on this one! Great video bro. Will pull it apart again for the umpteenth time tonight and 🤞🤞🤞

I did see someone jerry rig a metal hookup on theirs when looking for replacements on ebay. What do you mean second o-ring? I plan on attempting this since mine is leaking really bad

[@erikadkins225]

@@MrHalfanEar I did see some with a metal bung attached. Looks promising but I was actually able to get mine back out despite a boatload of superglue and get to the oring inside again. It's noticeable smaller than the one i took out. Thinking my seal wasn't good enough but after watching the video and seeing there's not 2 orings he just out the one off the nipple into the hole at the end to show fitment. Thought I way have missed one. Definitely gonna try again with a better more tight fitting oring and also JB Weld that biatch this time. Lemme know how your turns out. Still can't believe this stupid "nipple" leak is only thing keeping me from riding SMH

[@MrHalfanEar]

@@erikadkins225 I ride regardless but it definitely would be nice to fix. I’m going to get the same kit and use the same o-ring the guy did. If not I might buy an eBay one and try to reuse the nipple since none of them come with it.

[@letsdoitourselves5322]

Mine didn’t leak while riding.. just my 2 cents

[@MrHalfanEar]

@@letsdoitourselves5322 I said the same thing but my friend said that it was probably just being pushed to a different spot from the force. Just replaced the gasket and still notice leaking but some of it came from the overflow valve so I’ll see in the morning

[@letsdoitourselves5322]

I had to buy an assortment either on Amazon or at auto store I’ll try to find link if it was Amazon but end of video has dimensions

[@motwakilalhadi762]

Same as my problem hope u fixed it and can i get rid of this hole and close it? I mean will it affect?

[@letsdoitourselves5322]

Not sure good question

[@kaytt551]

How did you convert your measurements? I have a different bike and I measured and my readings were a little different from yours, how do I pick the right size o ring?

[@letsdoitourselves5322]

This is the set I used www.harborfreight.com/382-piece-o-ring-assortment-67554.html I used gasket 110 in this set. Using the caliper I took a measurement of the inner diameter (ID), outer diameter (OD) and thickness of the old gasket. Because the gasket is worn it’s not exact but I rounded to nearest mm and converted into fraction of an inch on Google because I couldn’t find a gasket that would fit with mm dimensions. Then I looked everywhere online for either the right size or and assortment and above 👆 is what I found.

[@Wheeliethepooh]

Hey man quick question is it two rubber gaskets??

[@letsdoitourselves5322]

Na just 1.. if you’re referring to the comment where the guy said he forgot a second o ring he just had the wrong size 1 o ring. You gotta verify where your leak is this is a specific gasket that is common to leak and other than this video isn’t supposed to be serviceable most people with no budget spend the $250 for the new pump and housing vs this gasket that comes out of a $10 kit and takes an extra 15-30 minutes of ingenuity.

[@emmanuelramos4772]

Hey I having this problem but mines pouring out gas from that nipple so I just ordered a OEM 1 the whole assembly, would this cause my bike to sputter and starve for gas ?

[@letsdoitourselves5322]

It’s the return line so it sucks in gas while running if yours is spraying while running I’d check for a pinhole in the hose

[@emmanuelramos4772]

@@letsdoitourselves5322 I filled my tank full yesterday to find out it leak all of it I mean all of it , it’s not leaking through the actual nipple it self where the hose connects but through the small crack on top the nipple if that makes sense could that cause it to starve for gas ? I replaced my pump , coil , spark plug , and fuel injectors and it seems like it starving for gas I have a video on my page

[@emmanuelramos4772]

Mines not leaking it’s fucking pouring out gas literally everything

[@germaineyoung1166]

Where did you find the o ring at

[@letsdoitourselves5322]

It’s gasket 110 www.harborfreight.com/382-piece-o-ring-assortment-67554.html

[@pour-g8677]

Is this the leak that only leaks when just running?

[@letsdoitourselves5322]

Opposite mine only leaked slowly when turned off but I could ride for over an hour and won’t smell anything

[@pour-g8677]

@@letsdoitourselves5322 cause i just notice it this morning i suppose to ride my r6 to work then i notice when i warmed it up it was leaking smells gas.. you think the oring can buy on autozone?

[@letsdoitourselves5322]

If it’s leaking while running I’d check the hoses
