Morning
The bike has been stalling a bit lately normally at a critical point riding slow around an obstacle!
Anyway I noticed a lot of air being drawn in when I opened the fuel cap so I pulled off the vent pipe (at the rear right of the tank) and it was blocked.
The pipe runs under the seat to the front of the bike near the rad. About ½ way along there is a non return valve which is there to stop fuel coming out the vent. This was completely corroded. Replaced it with one from Ebay (6mm size).
Seems to have cured the stalling issue.
cheers
