I'll wager that it is almost certainly the pressure cap. All the symptoms you describe fit the bill. I have had the same problem twice on my Tigers.

It is not worth the hassle of going back and forth to the shop with it only for the dealer to faff about with it. Just get a new cap and pop it on yourself. If you have small hands this can be done without disturbing anything. Otherwise you can just loosen off the fixings and ease the front of the tank up a bit to get access to the cap.
