If I recall, the fuel tank pressure vents via a small valve hole in the fuel cap. There is a fuel overflow drain hole in the fuel tank, that is covered by the fuel cap. This fuel tank overflow drains via a hose that ends up close to the right hand side foot peg.

The link, http://www.DL650.org/photos/pbsoluces/rob27/bouchon-reservoir/index.html, contains a few good pix of the fuel cap internals. One can clearly see the vent hole in one of these pix.
