Hi,
I was getting really bad vacuum from my filler cap so took the advice of many and blew air through the top hole under the cap with my compressor/air blower. It must of been too powerful as it's blown the pipe clean off, now my question is: does it really matter? I've no vacuum now and hopefully water won't collect under the cap, I'm just worried if it's dangerous (petrol vapours etc) or will it allow water on to the electrics? The bike has just been in for an annual service and it started the same day on the ride home (went to petrol station) I can't recall it happening before but the bike is new to me so could be coincidence. Also I don't fancy lifting the tank and trying to reattach the pipe.
