RE: Petrol Tank Breather
For anyone else who's reading this, my 2p's worth.

With your engine running more fuel will be coming out than vapour being created, so it won't pressurise in use.

If you have to leave your bike don't brim the tank, leave some air space and top it up from a 5L can in the parc ferme before you go out. If you are still worried leave the petrol cap unfastened so it can vent.

Put silver foil and/or a white towel over your tank while the bike is parked to stop it absorbing heat from the sun.
