Leaky fuel cap?

[Hammerhead]

Anyone else experienced a leaking petrol lid when your bike takes a trail nap?  

   More so with a full(ish) tank, it has ranged from slightly oozing to downright piddling. Efforts to stop it revealed the severity definitely seems to be "position sensitive". 

   Never liked the way the thing seems loose even when properly fitted, but depending  on where it's at when layed over it can result in some rather drastic leakage. 

    Anyone familiar dealt with Yam on this yet? Is it a warranty issue they're solving? 

  Last thing I want is the new tank bag getting polluted with petrol next time we get an little tipsy.

I have not installed it yet but I got the camel adv tank gasket(it is supposed to fix the leaking) when I got the "Brake fix". You might try that. Everything from Cory at Camel Adv. has been great.

Fitted the gasket late last year, it works

Obviously, you will not see fuel coming out of the fuel cap unless the tank is full or near full, when the fluid level is at or higher than the cap (with the bike on its side). Still, the cap releases fumes all the time as long as there is any fuel in the tank.

That has not been an issue that has been reported ( if at all) so it would be a good idea to have your dealer take a look at it. Leaking while on it's side is one issue, but fumes being released while upright is a new one on me.
