I got mine out of the living room today. Took it for a ride. Before I put it up, I stopped and topped off the tank. I over filled it.
When I got home and put it on the stand, I had gas coming out the bottom near the kick stand. I siphoned some gas out and it stopped. Must have some kind of overflow that bleeds off the gas when you put too much in? It wasnt leaking from the cap. I think its coming out of a hose. ???

that is so weird... I always... over fill mine before I get home from a gas station that's like half a mile... and park it right after on the stand... and it never leaked... !!

had a bike before that would leak if I put it on the side stand.. (from the cap)
so i used to put it on the center stand when I over fill it...

It was likely just REALLY full. A little drips from the overflow hose (red in diagram), even after a short ride.
Heat from the engine warms up the fuel in the tank and some will get pushed out, too.

Parts fiche are great! LOL
It occurred to me that the canister from a CA bike might make some bit of difference. Not sure what. There's also a small check valve (part #34) on all of the models in case the bike tips over.

Hey does anyone know if the SCR gas cap is a "vented" gas cap?

It certainly fits poorly enough to perform that function!!

LOL !! It most certainly does!

My bike isnt here so I cant investigate...

At the risk of gratuitously repeating myself, I am building a custom gas tank for my SCR. I am using a slightly damaged one from a Yamaha Bolt as the base. I need to know if the tank requires a "vented" cap. Thank you in advance to anyone that can tell me!

I dont know. But mine is heavy duty and fits real well. When I hugely overfilled the tank and put it on the stand.... the gas ran out the bottom. See diagram above. Nothing leaked from the cap or around the cap. Doesnt mean its not vented. My guess is that its vented. Maybe under the key opening?

Yeah maybe...not sure, my bike ain't here. It's good to know your cap didnt leak though.
