FUELING ISSUE - FUEL FILTER

[Bergweiserus]

I think i've got a plugged or pinched vent hose problem    Riding for 30+ miles causes fuel starvation and it's remedied by opening the fuel cap...i get a loud WHOOOOSH, close the cap and i'm good to go for another 30/40 miles  

I have no canister or the hosing for it, so i'm going to take y'alls advice and remove the black rubber piece inside the cap.  Is it the one sitting there next to the fill hole?  Looks like i can pull it out with needle-nose pliers...

Also, it's time to replace ALL of my fuel lines and the overflow line.  Can you guys recommend which brand/type of hose I should go buy?  My fuel lines touch the heads, too so it's gotta be high-temp stuff.....and it's obviously exposed to the elements.

(bike is a 900 but started life as a 750 so it's got the 750 tank/lines setup)

thanks a million in advance.

Didn't we already cover that?

That's the one. Some have a dab of glue holding them in. Usually you can just use your fingers.

Ahh yes, got it.  Sorry for the brain-fart it's been a rough day at work.  Thanks for the help as always.

Removing that rubber plug-thing seems to have done the trick.  Neither fuel starvation nor air-whooosh has occurred since removal.  I even blew some air through the vent tube to make sure...clean and clear.

For the sake of preventative main't, I purchased a new fuel filter, 4mm vacuum hose, 5/16 & 1/4 fuel hose for the entire system + clamps.  Will be installing this week.

Thanks for the help guys and sorry to pile on your thread, greenohawk69
