Clearing the breather hose

[Indiana_Jones]

Hey guys,

Getting quite a lot of suction on the fuel lid the other day. Tried to open it and it took a hell of a lot of effort!

Devil mentioned it could be the breather hose from the tank is blocked.

I took the tank off to check that it wasn't kinked/blocked by the tank itself.

So how do I clear just the line?

Air compressor job?

Cheers

Won't the hose be for overflow only? The breatheability will be built into the cap I would have thought. It should be reasonably easy to remove enough bits to clear the airway. Take it off the tank to do it tho! DAMHIK!
I could be wrong tho, just going off the jappas I currently have.
edit, just looked at one on TM and I think I'm right. Beautiful looking bikes BTW but sounds like yours sucks? Ba doom tish!

Yup. Modern fuel systems are required by law to be sealed. There are mods to fuel caps to vent them, if it's causing you problems.
