Based on the orientation of your bike in your photo I'm surprised that the fuel doesn't just pour out of the filler cap! Wink

Now look what you've done. RWD's taken his avatar photo down. And I went to all the trouble of fixing it for him.

Sorry,...are you the one responsible for installing the photo oz-side-down? Wink

No matter what I did it was upside down, I even edited the photo to be upside down on my camera roll hoping that when I uploaded it here, that it would flip it right side upSmile Nope that did not even work. I also tried to upload a pic to a post, and it came out upside down, so I kind of gave up on pictures on the forum. I already knew I was not that bright, but I did not figure I needed to reinforce that, every time someone saw a reply or post that I did!

RWD, Cormanus fixed your pic and posted it somewhere so you could put it back right side up. I'll see if I can find the thread.

It's possible that your gas cap fuel vent could possibly be partially clogged causing an increase back pressure in the tank. If this is the issue and it gets totally clogged your bike will not run

Hello guys.
I just had the same issue with my CB 2013. Based on the comments here, it seems to be related to higher temperatures.
I just checked the bike this morning and there is a small stain of gasoline in the floor, but the vent tube (I assume this is the name of the small pipe below the bike) is completely dry.
It looks like it leaked a little during the day, when it was warmer, but it stopped leaking during night due to the drop of temperature.

Anyway, I'd like to know if the problem is gone, gaby. Could you please comment?

Cheers, and have a nice Sunday, everybody!
