Hey! So, I just replaced the stock gas tank cap with the Accossato easy remove tank cap but the problem is that I think I installed the bleeder wrong. The tank cap comes with a little tube attached to its side that I attached to a tiny hole in the gas tank that was previously aligned with a hole in the stock gas tank cap.
However, I'm still building a vacuum inside the gas tank. After using about a sixth of the tank, the cap gets really hard to pull out. I haven't ridden it more than that yet because I'm scared of losing fuel pressure going fast on the highway around a bend and then crashing from a sudden loss of power to the rear wheel. I would like to fix this before I go anywhere more than 10-20 miles.
I should mention that while I was installing it, I cut the tube short because there was not enough space to fit the whole thing and that the installation was kinda tricky so the tube was pinched. Perhaps that's the reason why this is happening. On the bright side, at least I know it's sealed well for when I ride in the rain lol.
Any ideas?
