Any thoughts ?
The overflow water drain under tank flap is blocked .It now fills up with a little reservoir of water ! Tried carefully pushing a thin piece of pipe down the small hole but it reaches a stop.
Any ideas ?

Get an air line on it and blow from the bottom.

Pray you haven't jammed all the gunk by packing it in further when you pushed the thin bit of pipe down there.

If the crud entered through the top and got stuck, you really should push it up and out from the bottom.

Thanks for the advice . I took it to my local bike friendly servicer DW Scarborough who sorted it out quickly. I don't have an airline but took your point.
One less problem
