When riding I' seem to get a fine mist of gas from the gas cap area, I can see the dried spots on the gauge faces , and sometimes a small drop, on top of cap.

Anyone have an idea what causes this and how to fix it? I've already installed a new rubber funnel like piece and used a sealant around that as well.

Al sells new gas cap seals.

Routes forward and under the tank, seems to drop down around front of oil tank.

Could be gas cap seal I guess, I'll check.

Pretty sure the cap is well seated.

A new/used tank, a wood rasp, and some sand paper have solved the problem.
