When I start my VFR400 NC24, gas leaks under the bike and it is coming from one of the Exhaust pipes. When I rev up the engine, it stops. When I start using it, the leak doesn't show up.

It only leaks, when I start it from cold. I already made an oil change because gas has already mixed itself with the engine oil.

I already brought it to a mechanic, they sync the carbs and fixed #4 valve. But when I got home, the leak started again.

What seems to be the problem? Need Help...

petrol was in the engine oil? If so ditch the oil asap . your fuel tap is letting petrol through when it should be off . And you have proberly got a dodgy/dirty float needle/valve in one carb atleast , hope this helps Thumbs Up

The fuel taps on them are a bit shit, I had to replace the one on mine.

The float needles love to rust too. Get 4 new ones.
