I have seen a previous thread about this (so sorry for bringing it up again get)
But I didn't see a definitive answer/fix, most people say they live with it!
Surely this cannot be the case. Lately after a ride I put bike in garage come back 30mins later to a puddle under the breather. I've even gone to the extent after my rides just lifting fuel cap to release some pressure/vapour
Surely thier a fix for this otherwise it's a massive design flaw.
Not to mention the slight damage its doing to my wallet
Many thanks

I noticed once I removed my carbon canister this started happening but only on hot days.

I've only had my bike from January, so not experienced the hot days until now..
It's Annoying. There has to be a fix surly!

1 - open tank cap and blow compressed air through the ends of both front and rear drain/vent pipes,
If no joy,
2 - check seating of small rubber spigot to u/s of fuel cap and it's fit to small hole in cap base ring,
If no joy,
3 - disassemble hinged part of tank cap and remove rubber seal.
1 and 2 worked for me temporarily but 3 permanently solved issue.

Is it dribbling out of front lhs or rear rhs?

Both.
But mainly from the front. The rear is a dribble
It doesn't matter if the tank full/half full or nearly empty if it's hot then I get a puddle.
I've checked all the seals etc and all is well

I had a leak on my 2008 SD and it ended up being the fuel pump, got that replaced under warranty and also the rear spring since it was discolored from the fuel.
Good luck.

I'm still yet to solve this.
But with less than half a tank my bike been sat for a bit and no leaking.

I lost over a gallon (3l and change for the brits) off a full tank from mine. Hopefully someone figures out a fix.

If i dismantle filler cap will springs go everywhere ? and will i be able to put back together without a fuss !
And change the sealing rubber, or is that not a fix ?

After some google searching I found this interesting link regarding slash cutting the bottom of the breather hoses due to the Venturi effect:
