Dont plug it! The bike wont run if its pluged. Its how the tank equalizes the pressure so the fule will go tho the carb. (its a gravity feed sistem.)
Just add a rubber hose make it long enough to go down by the exaust. You will see a litle U shapes bracket, just put the hose in there.

what airdreams1 said!
Altho', it's not critical to actually have a hose attached to it.......the tanks I use for track, I leave the nipple bare, so don't worry about it.

The hose is just so if you spill gas it wont drip all over your engine & frame.

Well, in regards to my comment, I don't fill up the tank on track days, so I have no worries of over-filling :-p. However, the tank I use for street rides does have a hose attached. Just be sure you don't 'completely' fill your tank. You don't want gas draining, especially on your rear tire when in motion (yikes!) |
