All 2st Gas Cap

Have an '09 nWR 300. took it for its first ride today and gas was leaking out from that under the gas cap. A fair amount of it too. I unscrewed it and back on, etc again and again.
Anyone else, what's the fix?? THanks.

Not sure of any leaking problem but just a thought is the rubber seal still in the gas cap ????

You might try and see if the rubber seal is there AND to get it back on right, it worked for me to screw the seal into the cap.

If after trying to rotate the seal you still leak a bit, you might consider replacing the cap. The Acerbis large fits and hasn't leaked on mine. 11-1101-00 - under $13

Great! The rubber seal is in the cap and I did take it out and repl and it still was seeping gas. I'll fuss with it again, but glad to know there is cheap replacement.

The rubber must be under the lowest tang (screw it in with fingers.) the whole acerbis replacement is cheap too. I went hat route rather than fussing during a race.

This happens to me all the time too!!! I have a 2010 TE510 and every time I top off the tank, I get a lap full of gas. I've tried putting the cap on every which way, and played with the gasket etc,.... Still kept poring out. Then I took off the little plastic triangle thing that is mounted loosely on the top of the tank and around the threads for the cap (don't know the name of the part, but its the external part that keeps the tank shape looking uniform. ). Ever since that came off, no gas leaks. I haven't dried dumping the bike to see if it completely handled the issue. I should as in the past when it ended up on its side for one reason or another, you'd think I hadn't bothered putting the cap on at all.

Thanks gang. I will goof around with it today and see what happens. I'll let you know how it goes.

I also had this problem when I first got my TC510, gas was leaking and flowing all over. The problem was the same that was stated above....Since then, no leaking, even after dumping the bike.
