Consumer Description

I RODE BIKE TO WORK AND PARKED IT ON SIDE STAND. AFTER WORK I NOTED A WET SPOT UNDER BIKE BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE IF IT WAS OIL OR GAS. ON THE RIDE HOME I NOTED A PETROLEUM SMELL WHEN AT STOP LIGHTS. I PARKED THE BIKE IN THE GARAGE ON ITS SIDE STAND AND GASOLINE STARTED LEAKING FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BIKE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND RODE IT OVER. UPON PARKING THE BIKE GAS BEGAN TO LEAK AGAIN. THE DEALER CHECKED THE BIKE CONFIRMING A GAS LEAK ORIGINATING IN THE AREA OF THE FUEL INJECTOR/DELIVERY SYSTEM. PARTS HAVE BEEN ORDERED AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR REPAIR. *TR
