[QUOTE="mnorment, post: 1466068, member: 99921"] Venting... I had not thought about venting so after reading your post I just drained my tank to see what the gauge would show- Guess what, one bar, which is probably about right. Started the bike, cranked right up. Ran it till it reached operating temperature, all fine. so it appears it might be a venting problem. I have not had the tank off, but go figure this problem did start right after i installed a fuze box under the rear seat. To do so I had to run a 14 gauge wire from the battery back to the fuse box. I did lift the tank, i mean like an inch, to get the wires under the tank but they are not being pinched. But, in do this i guess I might have "messed" with the vent tube. Thanks for the guidance. So, couple questions on the vent tube. I assume the tube poking up inside near the gas cap hinge is the vent tube? Do you know how this system works or where the vent goes? [/QUOTE]
