Hi all,
Just started riding MT10 a week back. Have been noticing that, every time when I open the gas cap, pressurized air rushes out. Its like opening a can of coke. I also noticed that as the bike temperature gets hotter, the pressure of the air increases. Is it normal? Or is there any way to rectify this? I have not experience this on all my previous bikes!
Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance! Not normal! Vent hose must be kinked! Ive check the vent hose, its ever so slightly kinked, tried to press it back to shape. However the issue persist. I realised it is connected to a “vapour canister” or “evap canister”. Can i just bypass the canister instead? Meaning the vent line will lead straight out of the bike instead, will that work? |

Maybe so! Is yours a California bike? I live in Texas where we don’t have emissions bs! |

I tried this and it caused the venting issue. But I might've fucked up and routed the remaining hoses wrong. I think there's also a hose on the throttle body that acts as a vent to the Evap cannister that I was afraid was going to cause vapour lock, cause it was having issues starting as well.
I said fuck it, it's just weight savings and reinstalled the Evap cannister.
As far as your problem, you almost definitely have some kink in the vent hosing or the hosing going to/from the Evap cannister. I would check all the hose connections and make sure none of them are pinched.
Also, not sure if the bike is new or used. Might wanna check with previous owner to see if they fucked with the emissions stuff.

I live in Texas where we don’t have emissions bs! Im not too sure if its a California bike, I live in Asia.. not sure where it came from. However according to the manual, the vapour canister is only for California bikes.. would there be any issue if I just route the vent line from the tank direct to the atmosphere? |

Ive done a check yesterday, there was a really slight kink on the hose directing to the fuel tank. I tried to get it back in shape, but the same problem persist. According to the manual, the vapour canister is for California Bikes only, correct me if Im wrong. So I was wondering if directing the vent line directly from the fuel tank to the atmosphere would help.. since the job is to just release the pressure somewhere ... |

Yes direct vent should work. Bypass that canister. Or buy new hose.

Manufacturers send California bikes all over the United States. Just cause you don't live in California, doesn't mean you don't have a California bike. Unfortunately, I don't know how to tell if you have a Cali bike or not, other than to lift the tank up and check the emissions sticker on the back of the airbox (as I detailed in my Saga on trying to get my bike registered in California in a separate post). My California title doesn't list the model # but if your title does and you have an extra "C" on the model #, you likely have a California bike. So the California model for the Grey FZ-10 is something like FZ10GYC vs the regular which is just FZ10GY
The emissions sticker will say that it conforms to California EPA standards or something like that. If it does, you have a California bike and a charcoal cannister under the airbox and a whole bunch of other hoses that may be pinched or otherwise fell out of place.

Hi all, Ive managed to fix it in a way. Routed the vent line direct from the tank to the atmosphere. Bypassed the charcoal canister. So far, the pressure in the tank has been able to escape, hence no “mini explosions”. Bike has been running fine too! Thank you for everyone who has given their inputs!

I’ve been lurking on this thread. I’m glad you figured it out I figured that’s what the issue was.
