Got my zthou a couple of weeks ago now and have ridden it in the rain a few times. after it gets wet it seems to get a puddle of water under the fuel cap!
There is a couple of holes there but it seems like its not draining?
Anybody found the same thing?
Might have to go back to the dealer...

I have a 2004, but it should be draining. The drain tube on mine runs down the left side just behind the front sprocket. Mine isa a rubber hose, maybe yours is pinched. I would still take it to the dealer. Oh and have a shot of a fine brown liquid called Jim Beam.

went back and they blew out the hose with some compressed air. All good now, could have done that myself though lol

I agree that you could have done it yourself. If you are mechanical buy a repair manual and it will give you the information you need to do most things on your own, such as drain hole locations and where the hoses go. Jim Beam helps as well.
