2001 rvt1000 or rc51 fuel leaking from fuel tank at rear pivot. Caught fire after fuel leaked onto hot exhaust pipe wrapped with thermal tape. Fuel vapors caught fire after bike was at a standing/idle position. Fuel leak had started recently and had rapidly increased. Seems to be a common problem with this bike. Glad i caught it outside of my garage and not in. *tr
