Naaa.
Half the crew is asleep, the other half dealing with tornadoes and snow
and the other half is dealing with wildfires and power outages.

Mine leaks too.
Usually the tube on dirtbikes runs down thru the center triple tree
It's supposed to be for expansion but they do splash.
I just put a little fuel filter inline to slow down the splashout.

I was thinking about tying it in a loose knot.
I also wonder why they don't make those tanks with a real vent cap?
Prob no emission requirements like the oem folks have to do.

Cool machine btw.
Nice to know you're interested in keeping it right.
Check vale sounds like the best idea.
Something super cheap with a simple ball like the old time swimming snorkels

Drill a hole through the plastic on the handlebars and run the tube through it.
