Tank vent problem..... was created by 0Z.Z1R Mk2
Today was the first time I've ridden the ZIR since its recent resto,"legally anyway".
Having problems with the tank not venting properly,building up pressure to the point were it shuts down until you release this pressure via the fuel cap.
My question is....were does the tank vent from ?I'm running a Pingel pet cock valve.

Most of the tanks vent through a small opening in the cap. Take the screws out of yours and look for a blocked vent hole.

Thanks mfolks....on closer inspection it appears that brown gasket was around the wrong way blocking the venting system.
The maze was blocked also...alls good now.
