Came home last Friday parked the bike and went up stairs. About hour and a half later went back down stairs to check if the door was closed and smelled a strong odor of gas. Thought the kids were messing with the dirt bike again. Then noticed the odor was strongest around my V7C. I looked down at the tank and it looked funny, so I opened the gas cap to see if there was pressure in it, and to my surprise gas shot about 2 feet out of the tank and it went back to its original shape. As a result the tank warped on the left flat side just above the left cylinder head. Brought the bike in for its 12,000 mile service and Steve at Moto-Nexus found one of the vent lines was pinched. Have no idea how it got pinched as the tank has not been off the bike and never had this problem before. It will be replaced under warranty. New tank is being ship
