Gas cap, have you lately
looked closely. I happened to notice a sliver of red which turned out to be the old seal on my circa 1978 gas cap on the blue car. It was showing signs of coming apart. The red seal is the old cap which has now been replaced ($15.00 Pelican) with new. Cheap CIS insurance. They don't operate well with junk in the fuel.
So next time you refuel, bottom up the cap and examine to keep your CIS happy. ARF

Pat Goss says to change your gas cap every five years. Probably overkill.

Changed mine about six months ago for the same reason.

So, did you swap out the entire cap or just the seal? I should probably do this on all my old rides.

My bayonnet style (preferred?) started to vibrate loose every so often - just got a new seal from pelican to tighten things up in there ($4).

I heard the it was the NOS that eats the seals up. You guy's gotta cut back on your addiction to boosters.
