I have an issue here you guys may be able to help with. 2012 with 13000 miles on, daily rider/commuter. Garaged at night, parking lot in the day. Anyway a couple weeks ago I opened the air box for the first time to check the filter. The air box was nice and clean, and figured Id change the filter over the holidays. Put it all back together, and back to routine riding. My next two gas ups my fuel milage had dropped from 40 mpg to 30 mpg. Well yesterday I opened the air box back up and found fuel and water contamination inside the air box. The seal around the filter looked OK, and the box cover looked tight. It does look like fuel was all around the center screw stud and maybe seeped through the filter gasket at that point. I don't know....I know whatever I did was self inflicted, just don't quite know what it was.
Any thoughts? I put a new filter in yesterday, cleaned all the seals real good, double checked everything seated good and tight. I'll check it again next weekend.
Thanks for any help
