Consumer Description

THE FUEL TANK ON MY 2016 KTM 690 DUKE DOES NOT SEAL AROUND THE FUEL DOOR. GAS CAN SPILL OUT OF THE TOP OF THE TANK, ESPECIALLY WITH A FULL TANK. THE FUEL TANK IS ALSO OPEN TO THE ATMOSPHERE CAUSING VAPOR TO ENTER AN ENCLOSED PARKING GARAGE. THE TANK APPEARS TO BE WARPED AT THE AREA WHERE THE FUEL DOOR IS MOUNTED TO THE TANK. THE GAS SMELL HAS ALWAYS BEEN PRESENT SINCE PURCHASING THE BIKE BUT I DID NOT FIND THE PROBLEM UNTIL 6 MONTHS LATER. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY SAID TO IMMEDIATELY BRING THE BIKE IN. THERE WERE SEVERAL OTHER BIKES OF THE SAME MODEL YEAR AND MODEL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AT MY THE DEALER.
