Leaky gas cap fix

Hey.. Long time

Gas was cheap so I decided to fill everything up. DOH!! forgot about the Storm 250 gas cap issue. All over the place :(

I'd looked at this a couple of times but always decided to just not fill all the way. So, one senior moment and you guess the rest.
Anywhichway... It "seems" to be cured now.
What I was seeing, is the inside of the cap is way too long and dips into the gas. The pressure then blows it out and you have a mess on your hands, legs and everywhere else until you get the level down.

So, easy fix was to use a grinder and destroy the inside tube that has a couple of pieces of plastic in that serve no purpose. A good game is to see how far you can throw them.

Bike is still going great and I still get a kick out of riding around and hitting the trails.

Jeff
