GIO in my 2008 250X
I think I have the GIO problem on my 08 250X. When I smelled the oil filler cap on my ski it definitely smelled like fuel. I still need to check the oil level from the last time I rode. Are there other ways to check and verify the GIO problem? I bought one of the early production 08's since i have had my ski in early December of 07. What can I do to get rid of this problem completely? Will the vent kit do the trick and is this a fairly easy mod to do?

The smell of gas does not mean GIO. If your oil level is rising then you have GIO. Most oil after a few hours will smell of gas. Better to do your sniffing from the oil stick while checking your levels.

I was thinking along the same lines as you Skip. I only have 9 hours on my ski and there should not be any reason for me to have GIO. At about 5 hours I sniffed the oil tank and it smelled like gas. When I smelled it, I was thinking "man, there has to be a better way to suspect GIO".

smell the dip stick, if it has the sweet smell of fuel - change it
if the oil rises - change it
