Is it okay to drain fuel through the tank breather?

So I have a fz6 and need to do some work below the tank. I can just angle the tank up on it's rear attachment, however since it's nearly full, that will drain some fuel through the tank breather hose. I could just catch that fuel in an appropriate canister (and put it back in afterwards), but is this okay to do, or will that much fuel damage that breather?Would be nice to avoid draining the tank with a siphon or external pump...I'm sorry if this is really obvious, but better safe than sorry. via /r/motorcycles https://www.reddit.com/r/motorcycles/comments/erbn9q/is_it_okay_to_drain_fuel_through_the_tank_breather/?utm_source=ifttt
