upflying Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 ...while opening my gas cap. The vacuum is at it's worst after using up 6 gallons of gas and riding 240 miles. Is this normal or do I have some sort of fuel tank venting problem? My bike has not had a canisterectomy and runs fine between fill ups. Link to comment
steve.foote Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Sounds like it's time to break out the scalpal. I'm betting on the canister. Link to comment
Jim VonBaden Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Check the tank vent hoses. My bet is one of them is plugged. I have actually heard of an R1150R rider having the tank implode, sort of, from that. Made a nice dent in his tank. Jim Link to comment
