How does our gas tank vent?

or does it?

overfilled my tank a few days ago, and noticed a leak from the cap as I rounded a corner, is my gas cap gasket shot?

On everything but the California bikes....the cap is vented.  The CA bikes have a sealed cap and a tube that goes to a canister mounted on the muffler bracket.

With our without a good gasket...the caps tend to leak if you fill the tank too full.

I have a bad tendency to overfill the tank. Just stop filling when it reaches the bottom of the filler neck.

I should listen to my own advice!  Huh

There's no problem that a full tank of gas and a sunny day can't fix!
