Thanks Luke,
I had a Royal Enfield once that had a problem with the tank vent, very frustrating till I found it out!

I've just ordered a new set of Iridium plugs, guess they won't be here for a whle, but whether its the plugs or not (and I doubt its them), thats something else sorted.

I had a quick look at the tank filler cap last night, there's no obvious vent, its the hinge from the back sort, I guess it simply vents out through the lock mechanism, I cant see an overfull vent which my Ural Retro has (never a venting problem there!) so I guess my options include trying to flush out the lock, could all be full of gunged up wd40 or something I guess, or I could try using the scalpel and cutting a v shaped groove ito the rubber seal....

I'll have a look today..

Thanks again
