    Maybe the same guy that stuffed a rag in your bike's caliper is at work on your VX?

    IIRC, on the drivers side, almost to the back of the engine, back there by the fuel pressure regulator, is where the soft line hooks into the fuel injection system.
    You may also find the return line, in roughly the same position, on the passenger side.

    Look above the coil packs, above the valve covers, there is a dark greenish line, about 5/16" dia, that's the fuel rail...

    Trace it back to where the rubber lines are, that's the most likely place you'll find a leak.

    Listen to Dub. Intake - driver/return - passenger, behind and low to the common chamber. It is a pain in the !@# to get to without removal of some stuff.

    Yeah, just start at the fuel filter on the inside of the passenger side frame rail underneath your VX and follow the fuel line forward from there.
