MY MOTORCYCLE HAS A PLASTIC TANK THAT EXPANDED AND CAUSED THE TANK TO SPILL AND IT DEFORMED TOO IMPEDING NORMAL STEERING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENS!!! THEY ARE REPLACING (NOW THEY ARE SAYING THAT MY AFTERMARKET EXHAUST COULD BE AN ISSUE BUT IT IS NOT. I HAVE NOT MODIFIED THE BIKE IN ANY WAY THAT WOULD AFFECT THE TANK AND THE FUEL PUMP OR THE FUEL FLANGE) THESE TANKS WITH THE SAME KIND!!! I AM WORRIED THIS BIKE IS NOT SAFE. *TR

1. MOTORCYCLE IS PARKED IN MY GARAGE WITH ABOUT 800 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND IN AS-NEW CONDITION. 2. FUEL BEGAN LEAKING FROM AROUND THE FUEL PUMP FLANGE AT THE BASE OF THE TANK. THIS DRIP IS NEXT TO AN EXHAUST HEADER PIPE ONTO THE REAR OF THE ENGINE BLOCK. UPON INVESTIGATION IT BECAME CLEAR THAT THE PLASTIC TANK HAS DEFORMED (WARPED) AROUND THE FLANGE, OPENING A GAP FOR FUEL TO DRIP RAPIDLY FROM THE TANK. *TR

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
