- July 09, 2016, 23:19:19 PMI just went through this with mine. It dribbled out, and I compensated by not filling the tank. I pulled the cap and confirmed all O rings were around top and bottom of the mounting screws. What I noticed was the vent fitting off the tank no longer had the small gasket seal between the tank vent and the mount for the gas cap. Have no idea how or when this went missing, but there was no rubber around the vent. I ordered Kawasaki OEM Part # 92093-1030 online for a couple bucks and solved my problem. Cancelled the order for a new cap.
Good luck

You will probably need to take it off the tank to get to the little phillips screws, be aware that there are 2 O rings on the large screws, so don't let them fall into the tank
