Consumer Description

THERE IS A VERY STRONG FUEL ODOR WHEN THE MOTORCYCLE IS PARKED AND WHEN IN MOTION. THE FUEL PUMP FLANGE HOUSING HAS CRACKED AND HAS ALLOWED RAW FUEL TO ESCAPE FROM THE HIGH-PRESSURE DISCONNECT. THIS IS OF GREAT CONCERN AFTER THE MOTORCYCLE HAS BEEN RIDDEN AND PARKED IN AN ENCLOSED GARAGE WHERE THE FUMES MAY COLLECT AND PRESENT A FIRE HAZARD. THIS LEAK IS WITHIN INCHES OF ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS AND ABOVE THE LEFT EXHAUST HEADER. THIS MOTORCYCLE HAS LESS THAN 5,500 MILES WHEN THE CRACK(S) DEVELOPED. *JS
