Fuel couplings S2R S4R etc

It has come to my attention that the plastic fuel couplings used on those bikes may be in need of replacement.

I had removed mine but assuming they were ok opted to replace the o rings as the connectors seemed fine to me. But read this:-

I had already checked mine and I thought they were ok but apparently not, if they are round then they need replacement. Who knew if they are round then no good?

I just replaced mine and they are very not round. Check yours before they fail.

These went on mine after a major service that had required tank off. Fired bike up and noticed small petrol leak almost immediately. Could indeed sort of squeeze them back to fit, tighter but didn’t seem a v positive connection. So fitted new ones in the end which made a much more reassuring ‘click’ on fitting. So if yours don’t click I’d replace them. Cheaper than replacing a burnt out bike…
