Consumer Description
THIS BEING MY 2ND GAS TANK FROM KTM, AFTER EACH TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK WITH FUEL AND CONTINUING UNTIL THE TANK IS LESS THAN HALF FULL, WHILE RIDING THE MOTORCYCLE, FUEL IS FORCED OUT ONTO THE SURFACE OF THE TANK FROM AROUND THE MOUNTING PLATE/SYSTEM WHERE THE GAS CAP ASSEMBLY IS MOUNTED TO THE TOP OF THE TANK, AND THE GAS RUNS DOWN THE TANK AND ON TOP OF THE MOTOR. EVEN WHEN PARKED AND NOT RUNNING, GAS FUMES ARE COMING THROUGH THE MOUNTING SYSTEM. IT APPEARS THAT THE MOUNTING PLATE OF THE TANK IS WARPING BECAUSE OF THE PLASTIC TANK, NOT ALLOWING THE GASKET BETWEEN THE TWO MOUNTING POINTS OF THE TANK AND THE CAP MOUNTING ASSEMBLY TO SEAL PROPERLY. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I'VE FOUND A FORUM WITH AN 8 PAGE THREAD OF COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM OF THIS TYPE OF MOTORCYCLE.
