Thanks Popgun....I did a bit of reading, and learned something new today. Thanks!
It seems this dripping phenomena happens, but isn't overly common. On a CBR500 forum a rider described his drips as a "gooey amber muck"
I think you're right, that the evap canister might have become saturated. The big question is how. I don't let my bike sit for long (ride it every couple days), it's stored in the garage when not being used, and the day I saw this happen wasn't very hot. So I don't think there was a lot of vapor that could have accumulated in the evap canister.
I'll watch for it, if it happens again I'll bring it to the dealer.
Question: if the evap canister indeed became saturated (for whatever reason), does this mean it should be replaced, or could it eventually "dry out" on its own?
