Okay guy's
Please forgive me for being a complete dork, but having read a few threads here I have noticed that it is mentioned that the fuel cap has to be in a certain position and that this may be the opposite of what I have on my bike.
Only having had the cap of once to change the filter I put things back the way I had found them and that is with the hinge at the front and the cap lifting up towards the screen is this correct or not.

The hinge should be towards the back and the vent is on the left hand side. Be careful the vent hole is not blocked.

i found mine that way too bigd .....i dont know if im an idiot ...but i just turned the seal/gasket around to line up with the vent hole ...i guess it lets acumulated water and stuff drain right through the tank to the capture thingy below ...

Never thought about it that way Charlie but it makes sense! I always wondered what happened to water around the cap. Guess that's my lesson for the day LOL!

Thank's for the help guy's will remedy as soon as possible, and thanks TWB I will take care to check the vent.
