I tipped my 250 over while parked the first night i got it ... yes i know :twofinger . I have some trouble starting it initially but I got it going after giving it alittle throttle. Now i have some gas coming out what looks to be a loose line near the back of the bike. Any thoughts? Is this sort of a relief for the engine? I know the guy near topped me off with gas when I got it last night . Thanks!
 
A line toward the back of the bike??? Your overflow line should be right in the middle of the bike, pointing at the ground.
 
The carb floats probably were probably jostled into the wrong position after they were (almost) upside down. They probably just needed some time for them to get floating again.

As far as the gas and the fluid from the black tube, yes it is a relief hose coming from the gas tank. Keep an eye on it and as you use the bike/gas it should dry up.

A bike's natural resting position is on its side, best to remember that when you are releasing the kickstand or stopped at a light...

That's a great bike BTW. Ride safe.
