loose cap, or air leak, on remote tank/hoses.
Check valve going bad.
Just watch and I know hoses are good, just installed new clamps etc. Will check all caps and anything else i can see. Going to ride around a bit this weekend, will see if anything changes, from what i said u think i should?

Seal inside the cap?
You will also see this occasionally if you let the remote tank get low and run some rough water. Other than that check everything Savage said on the remote tank.

Just rebuilt my 300XS after a check valve failure. #6 cylinder had 0 PSI. The rest had 125. You can bet it will become part of my maintenance. Probably every other year. Cheap insurance.
