Going over the fuel system recently, including the tank vent- I assume that when this thing is removed and held sideways, horizontal, that one should not be able to blow or suck through it- the purpose is to block venting when bike is tipped over. Anyway, the little ball around is it bad if it doesn't close.

I think it should rattle if you shake it too.

It allows air IN to the tank, prevents fuel flowing OUT.

Many of us install an aftermarket moto-X type vent. Silly simple and it's all there on top of the tank. (I'll see if I can find pics)
