Prove that is the problem BEFORE you go to the trouble of venting the cap! Stig brings up good points to check that could be causes of your problem. This has happened before on these Stalls of Shame, I yell "vent" and the problem was solved by pushing the plug cap back on!I just wanted to know for educational purposes.
Don't forget there was also an Aussie Stig. Top Gear was one of the best shows in my opinion and was very popular here. Clarkson, May and Hammond were a great team together.

Personally, I think all who use the roads are in more peril from our own inattentiveness - than from other's behavior.You are fortunate not to have to deal with mind-less drivers on a regular basis. Good for you☺
But I don't know the actual percentages of that...or of it is true.
When I make a mistake, I file it in my learning bank...and do not trouble loved ones with it.
My circumstances and preferences permit me to ride in very limited congestion. (see my sunrise, rural rides)

Well, only other riders will listen. The cops won't listen. The ADA of Lawrence, Kansas did not listen and even told me, "We don't like motorcycles around here," after I filed a complaint about being struck by a heavy, wet, knotted beach towel thrown from a car.Id venture to say that is everywhere.
If your owner's manual states NGK CR7HSA, then the correct NGK Iridium spark plug is the CR7HIX.Thanks! [emoji3]
I liked the NGK better than the corresponding Denso.
Sorry, don't remember why. It was nearly 5 yrs ago.

Bought my LIKE200iLX a little over 4 years ago.
First accessory I installed that summer was a full set of the Kymco crash bars - just for the looks of them!
Next were a pair of long stemmed FAR mirrors from Italy to see behind me. The mirrors and the crash bars have been waxed several times - and except for the Italian screws - are free of rust.
.
Next I installed the lighted Bestem 929 top case - purely for the added night riding safety. I do put things in the case , but mainly it's value to me is its wrap-around running lights and brake lights. Is is also priced at @ 20% of the two major brands of lighted cases. The case has worked flawlessly for me for nearly 4 yrs.
I do wish they made a slightly smaller version.
Then there is the battery tender - which I keep stepping on - but works fine.
And the Tiny Tac that I put on about 3 yrs ago. Easy installation & works great. Applied with a bit of red 3M autobody tape.
Philips MotoVision orange bulb was installed a year or so ago. I like it. I ride in the dark every day. As advertised, the different color seems to get me noticed.
Not an accessory - but the thing that enables me to enjoy hours, rather than minutes, of riding my LIKE is the seat rebuild which I did on a used 50cc LIKE seat from ebay ($30) BTW- that Sailrite 4-way stretch vinyl seat covering I used has proven to be good stuff....they make custom motorcycle seat covers with it, so figured it would be a quality vinyl. Beats the heck out of fabric store vinyl!
All in all, the few accessories I have installed are holding up well.
(inside the scoot are a set of Dr. Pulley 14g sliders, an NGK Iridium spark plug, a Yamaha fuel pump a bigger YUASA battery for my winter starts in the boonies, and Michelin tires either end)
Love this scooter.

I used the three hole method of your last post. It was very easy to do. I seem to remember you are only supposed to turn it one direction. I don't remember which way, but I plan on just following the Kymco Like 200i valve adjustment video on YouTube again. That made it so easy to do.Clock-wise rotation
