Hi all,

I recently purchased my 2021 SFV4S brand new. It came with all the rizoma goodies and akra race slip-ons. I noticed the other day after riding all day that when I park my bike in the garage after it sits for 45 mins to an hour I get a slow leak out of the overfill tube under the bike. It only comes out the left side hose when the bike is on the kickstand. Was curious if anyone else has had this issue? It doesn't happen when I go for short rides only long rides and the bike gets good and hot. Doesn't matter how close i get it to full when I fill up. At first I thought I over filled the bike but tested it by filling it only halfway and still had the same issue. It will usually leak a puddle about the size of a golf ball then stop. I'm thinking it may be the aftermarket rizoma gas cap not sealing properly but I have no clue.

Thanks,
 
Fuel vapor condensing back to liquid. After your long rides, try to slowly open the gas cap to vent the excess vapor.

Gas boils at a relatively low temperature and the gas tank is on top of a very hot engine.
