Same thing happened to me, fuel line split, half a tank rolled straight down one of the steepest hills in sheffield at night. I thought about lighting it to burn it off but decided that would be worse than gushing nine letres of Petrol down the hill... Unfortunatley the Kawasaki er5 doesnt have a stop on the fuel cock. -Only res and on!
They were not braided... I suppose better visual inspection is the lesson here... I also had to push all 100kilos of it up the rest of the hill with the aid of my drunken cousin who insisted the bike had to be straight instead of leaning slightly my way, so it was twice as hard and took twice as long...
