I never have, but I read about others and bought a vented cap from ODP. I really like the fit, and o I know it will not happen.

 

can i get there website i search for odp but couldnt find anything

 

Here it is Link scroll down to the caps.

 

I cut and plugged my hose and run a vented cap... absolutly no problems. After I saw the vent hose smashed and starting to clog I got rid of it so I didn't run into the problem you are talking about. Good luck!

 

beacuse the bike felt like it had no power when i would give it gas in 1st it would crackle and break up im taking out this weekend again going to see how it runs thanks for the help.

Cut the hose down to about 2inchs and you wont have any problems.
Just dont overfill your tank or you got a mess.I never understood why it had to be 6ft
long and wrap around the tank five times.

 

pugads650 after 5 years with my ds i started having the the same problems 3 days ago, the only way to restart the bike was to take off the gas cap, I was going to post something today pretaing to a vented cap. I know there was a thread concerning this a while back, just can't remember when?

 

thanks for the link

 

i thought i needed my valves adjusted beacuse it would not start sometime but its fixed now hope it runs good this weekend.
