My bike is sitting outside my work dripping fuel out of the overflow/breather pipe under the bike?

The tank isn't full, why is this happening, i can only assume that it is caused by the heat from the Sun that is causing pressure. Do i have anything to worry about?

You can see the fumes evaporating, good job there are no naked flames about!

It's a Suzuki so worth saving

The dripping has subsided for now. I think the bike was in deep shock due to the heat!

its 1000 k7 so i presume no carbs, no floats!

I am just relieved that it's dripping from a breather pipe and not a crack somewhere!
