Update on my dud of a rocket.

Yes it says it has an Activated Carbon canister. I assume the dealer checked it out.

Never assume a dealer has checked anything out.

Its been awhile since i took the bike in because of the nose over condition after 4500 rpm. Actually its been at the dealer since November 15th. Triumph really drags their feet on warranty issues. Anyway, there is definitely a problem but sets no codes. They say its as if the traction control takes over no matter what mode i am in. I knew this thing had to be faster then that. It builds pressure in the gas tank when you open it to fill up but the cant find a venting issue. Which is completely odd. Obviously not venting. Well the sent Triumph the real time data on the bike and they cant find a problem. But what their engineers say is to change the abs module...hmmm thats not gonna vent my tank. That is the latest as of today when the dealer called. We will see soon. I will keep you posted on my dud.

OMG! I was driven crazy and no dealer could find the issue with my 2010 roadster. Several thousands in failed diagnostics, changing the obvious fuel position sensor, throttle position sensor...changing each with no success. Turns out it was the clutch lockout switch!! Who would have thunk it??

The clutch switch is tied in with a whole load of things. I discovered that years back when the fuel level on my Roadster stopped working, and that also happened once on my 2.5, but I've never heard of it causing an issue with the venting of the tank. Is that what happened with yours @zenbiker ?

Otherwise, I'd suspect the gas cap, vent hose, or charcoal canister. You shouldn't have to do your own work while under warranty, but I find it usually saves time and is faster in the long run. It's not going to void your warranty, doing small things like that. Find your vent hose- is it kinked? Is it clogged?

A little hissing in hot weather seems normal, but otherwise something is restricted and if the shop hasn't found it and points to the ABS (WTF?) I'd suggest going at it yourself. My money is on what happened to @stingray - your vent hose in kinked and need to be slightly rerouted or replaced.
