Fuel Leak

[DCSC]

I know it's been discused before but I want to make sure I don't have a proble. I get fuel leaking out of the vent hose under the seat low to the ground not the carb vents up forward, I am under the understanding that it is the tank vent. My question is could this be vapor escaping and then condensing that is dripping under my bike? I think it's a little excessive although the direct sun and heat here in SE GA are intense I am not seeing the same stains on the ground under other makes?

If you fill the tank full to the top, then park it in the sun. The gasoline will expand enough to run out the overflow hose.

I filled up then drove 40 mi, the bike sits in the sun and fuel leaks?? I open gas cap and look in and the level is way below the fill neck?? Very frustrating.

40 miles = 1 gallon, so it shouldn't be an overflow. Lets see what others say...
