But, then again, I don't fill my tank to the top. Or maybe it's just our great California emissions requirements that prevents that from happening?
Actually, Gary, if your bike is a California model, the gas cap is different than the others. It has a different type of check valve. There is also a tube that runs from the tank to the charcoal canister under the bike. I don't know how those things combine to prevent overflowing tanks, but mine never overflows either.
It is my understanding that when Savage Greg releases the Savage Companion version next.0, there will be photographs of the innards in that gas cap.
