Hello all, new member here i have an issue thats got me lost.
I recently bought a used 2004 cbr600rr with just over 12k miles runs nicely, idle is fine, revs and pulls well.
BUT... i went to test a new key i had cut for the bike recently and was greeted with a surprise of gas shooting out of my tank after a large amount of air being released. I saw a thread of some folks with 09s having the issue as well.
At the time of the blow out my tank was under 1/3 full.
Steps i have taken
Checked the over flow and tank vent lines for kinks - none found
Ran a hanger slowly through the vent line - Clean
Used can air to blow out the vent line - clean - can hear/feel air all the way up to the tank.
It seems the tank will pressurize even when just sitting cold, every time i open the tank it has a force pushing the cap.
As i stated the bike runs just fine despite the pressure
At this point I'm not sure what else to check any help would be awesome! thanks all.
