Problem solved! It was the fuel line to the left rear carb.
Took it for a test ride today. Nice and sunny day. Total 140 km distance. No problems.
It ran like a clock. So fantastic this bike is! I love it!

Re: Fuel leak after riding
Opened the garage doors today and almost fell backwards by the very intense smell of fuel......
Gave the 500 a long row of very bad words before I realized that she was not responsible.
It was a fuel canister that had cracked and there had leaked at least half a litre of fuel on the floor.
Now I have a long uphill climb to repair our relationship again. She can be very nasty when she doesn't get the love she deserves, this old lady. I know the new R1 is not making her happy. There has been a lot of different fluids leaked on the garage floor, just to show the discomfort with the R1 in the same garage. But with a lot of love ( read hours and hours of fiddling with her ) I think we are on speaking terms again.
