Bike is wimpering

[shawnwon]

Its really sad. After every ride my bike "crys" like she wants to run more. This problem ceases when I pop the gas tank fill cap.

This leads me to believe that the fuel tank breather hose may have a slight clog in it. I removed the tube and through some air through it(off a compressor)and no prob.

Now the line in the tank. How can I go about clearing that line or checking to see if it is clogged? I don't really want to blow air into the tank because if there is any debris I don't want it mixing with my fuel even though there is the primary fuel filter.

Can I remove the fill cap assembly to access the breather tube? Or is there another way of checking to see if it is clear?

You know this question was asked a few months back on another forum, the general consensus was that it is a normal occurance. Personally, the genesis does it on hot days, I haven't noticed it on the thundercat. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I have the YZF 600 tank and after riding or at fill up I notice pressure built up in mine and its always there.

Yea like we said it is a common noise on these old bikes. If you are truly concerned with it, you're going about it the right way checking for clogs in the lines. Keep us posted if unearth something to add to

Hmm, I thought my bike was special

It is a little reassuring to know that this is a common occurrence amongst other bikes as well.
This weekend I plan on draining the fuel and cleaning the tank as well as the lines and so forth.
I will, if anything is found post it.

Thank you gentlemen
