Consumer Description

FITTING AT TOP OF FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY WAS LEAKING (STREAM OF GAS) GAS ONTO THE GAS TANK AND DOWN ONTO THE LEFT CYLINDER. UPON STARTING THE BIKE , IN LESS THAN A MINUTE THERE WAS A FIVE FEET PUDDLE OF GAS ON THE GROUND. AT REST THE GAS IS POURING ONTO THE LEFT CYLINDER AND I ASSUME WOULD BE SPRAYING ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AT SPEED. AFTER REMOVING THE PANELS TO FIND THE LEAK. THERE WERE SEVERAL CRACKS ON THE FEMALE FITTING SIDE OF THE CONNECTOR OF THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE. WHERE THE HOSE GOES INTO THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY. SCARY TO THINK IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THE ROAD. THE LEAST PROBLEM WOULD BE BEING STRANDED. WORST CASE IF GASOLINE WAS SPRAYED ONTO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AND WERE TO IGNITE. *TT
