| Fuel cap Are fuel caps vented or are the tanks vented? Long story short, I lost my fuel cap in Golden and dealer didn't have one, but they said the oil cap was the same thread so I bought one so I could ride. Will this cause air lock or is the tank vented elsewhere. |

| Re: Fuel cap Tank must be vented elsewhere. I've gone from warm garage to cold outside with 1/2 full gas tank, when gas cooled off tank sides collapsed, went back to normal when I opened gas cap

| Re: Fuel cap depending on how long it is upside down I have had some gas leak out. I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't vapour lock at the wrong time! |
