Consumer Description

WHILE RIDING MOTORCYCLE GASOLINE STARTED LEAKING FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK LEAKING DOWN BOTH SIDES OF THE BIKE AND SATURATING MY PANTS WITH GASOLINE AND RUINING THE FINISH OF BIKE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE MOTORCYCLE CONSTANTLY SMELLED OF FUEL, EASILY OVERHEATED, CONSUMES OIL STALLS AT RANDOM, AND SOMETIMES WOULD NOT RESTART FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. THE FUEL LEAKAGE CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE FINISHING FRAME, SWINGARM, AND PLASTICS ON THE MOTORCYCLE. THE EXHAUST WOULD TURN RED HOT AND GLOW. FUEL ALSO LEAKED ONTO THE EXHAUST. THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE CONTACTED, BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. UPDATED 10/02/2017*JS
