Consumer Description

FUEL PUMP FLANGE CRACKED IN AT LEAST FOUR PLACES THAT I CAN PHOTOGRAPH. FOR HOW LONG THIS HAS BEEN I CANNOT DETERMINE. ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT LEAKING FUEL AT THIS TIME SEVERAL RIDERS OF THIS MODEL HAVE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT FLANGE FAILURE THAT RESULTED IN FUEL FLOWING OUT OF THE CRACK AND ONTO THE MOTORCYCLE AND RIDER. FUEL ON A PERSON, IN THE AIR AND ON THE VEHICLE IS A CHEMICAL HAZARD AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD AT THE VERY LEAST AND FUEL IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE INCHES AWAY IS DEADLY. I BELIEVE IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT IT BY THE MANUFACTURER. 8TT
