What owners report
FUEL LEAK FROM TOP OF THE FUEL TANK WHEN IN MOTION.
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
GAS FUMES LEAKING FROM MOTORCYCLE. GAS TANK MAY BE LEAKING AT TOP FILLER DUE TO WARPING PLASTIC GAS TANK.
TAKATA RECALL TANK LEAKING
FUEL TANK (PLASTIC) IS WARPED AND LEAKS FUEL AND FUEL VAPOR NEAR THE UPPER FLANGE SEAL. TANK WAS REPLACED ONCE BY KTM UNDER WARRANTY WITH THE SAME PLASTIC TANK AS THE ORIGINAL, THE PROBLEM IS LESS BUT PERSISTS, FUEL SMELL IS STILL COMING FROM THE TANK, FUEL VAPOR IS STILL ESCAPING. I KNOW OF TWO OTHER 2016 KTM 690 DUKE MOTORCYCLES WITH THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND I BELIEVE THIS FUEL TANK FAILURE IS DUE TO POOR FUEL TANK DESIGN. THIS IS BOTH A SAFETY ISSUE AND AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE. A RECALL ON THIS FUEL TANK SHOULD BE CONSIDERED.
