Consumer Description

EXACT SAME CONCERN AS THE REPORT LISTED IN COMPLAINT 10554076. THE TANK, ONCE REMOVED FROM BIKE, LOSES SHAPE AND CANNOT BE RE-INSTALLED WITHOUT *EXTREME* AND EXCESSIVE FORCE. PRIOR TO REMOVING THE TANK, I NOTED THAT THE TANK WAS STRAINING THE THREE MOUNTING BUSHINGS ON THE FRAME. BASED ON DIALOGUE WITH OTHER RS AND SPRINT OWNERS HERE AND ABROAD, THERE SEEMS TO BE A CONSISTENT DIALOGUE AS THIS ISSUE OCCURRING WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF ETHANOL INTO THE COMMON FUEL SUPPLY.
