Consumer Description

IMPROPER FUEL TANK WELDS PLUGGED THE FUEL FILTER WITH DEBRIS. DISCOVERED THE ZINC FLAKES UPON INSPECTION OF THE FUEL TANK. 425 MILES ON THE MOTORCYCLE AND LESS THAN 10 GALLONS OF GAS THROUGH THE TANK. UNLIKE AUTOMOBILES, WHEN A MOTORCYCLE FUEL SYSTEM IS COMPROMISED, A LOSS OF POWER CAN BE CATASTROPHIC TO THE RIDER. UNWILLING TO RISK MY SAFETY, INCLUDING DEATH, I WAS PROACTIVE IN MY INVESTIGATION OF THIS OWNER AND DEALER KNOWN ISSUE, AND STARTED MY OWN MAINTENANCE PLAN TO PREVENT AN UNINTENTIONAL DANGEROUS LOSS OF POWER, WHICH MIGHT OCCUR ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM AT 70 MPH. SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS OF A NEW HONDA MOTORCYCLE FUEL SYSTEM.
