i had my fuel tank raised up checking for airbox mods but didnt do any, didnt disconnect any hoses i know of, but when i put the tank back down and started the bike there is fuel coming out of the see through vent hose on the left side of the bike that connects to the airbox....and i mean alot of fuel is coming out. why is fuel getting in my airbox?

Pull the left hand triangle off the airbox (3 x 8mm bolts) and you can see where the fuel hose connects onto the fuel injection and throttle bodies, make sure it is pushed all the way on and the hose clip is still in place. You may of dislodged it slightly when you raised the tank!

If you raise the tank and its nearly full fuel comes out of the rear vent on the tank. If for some reason a hose was running from that to your airbox it could also cause it. More likely Bash's suggestion though as it started when you had the bike running.
