Consumer Description

PURCHASED DEMO THE END OF SEPTEMBER 2013. LIMITED RIDING BEFORE PUT AWAY FOR THE WINTER. STARTING IN THE SPRING I STARTED NOTICING A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL AND EXTREME EXCESSIVE HEAT. FUEL CAP IS EXTREMELY HOT AND GAS IS BOILING WHICH MAKE FILLING HARD AS NOZZLE KEEPS SHUTTING OFF. THIS IS OCCURRING IN AMBIENT TEMPERATURES AS LOW 53 DEGREES. THE RECALL AND ALL SERVICE BULLETINS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED AND THE FUEL CANISTER HAS BEEN REPLACED IN SEPTEMBER 2014. WITHIN 200 MILES, THE GAS SMELL RETURNED AND IS NOTICEABLE BY MY HUSBAND RIDING BEHIND ME AT 15 MPH. WHEN STOPPED IN TRAFFIC THE SMELL IS OVERWHELMING. THE EXTREME HEAT CONTINUES AND I TO WEAR EXTRA PROTECTION ON MY LEGS. I HAVE KEPT OUR DEALER ADVISED OF THE HEAT ISSUES. *TR
