What owners report
PLASTIC GAS TANK HAS EXPANDED. LIKELY DUE TO ETHANOL IN FUEL CAUSING WATER ABSORPTION IN PLASTIC. TANK IS VERY DIFFICULT TO INSTALL AFTER REMOVAL. STRESS ON TANK BECAUSE OF IMPROPER FIT COULD CAUSE CRACKS AND LEAKS. *TR
FUEL TANK WAS REMOVED FROM MOTORCYCLE TO INSTALL A NEW THROTTLE CABLE. WHEN FUEL TANK WAS REINSTALLED, THE MOUNTING HOLES FOR THE FUEL TANK NO LONGER LINED UP, THE FUEL TANK DIDN'T FIT BETWEEN THE FRAME RAILS AND TO MOUNT THE FUEL TANK A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE NEEDED TO BE APPLIED TO FORCE THE MOUNTING HOLES TO LINE UP. THIS PUTS THE WHOLE TANK UNDER SEVERE STRESS AND COULD CAUSE LEAKS. THE NEXT TIME IT IS REMOVED, I DO NOT BELIEVE THE TANK WILL GO BACK INTO THE MOTORCYCLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ANY OF THE PLASTIC TANKS DUE TO ETHANOL FUEL THAT IS REQUIRED HERE IN THE US ON MANY MAKES/MODELS OF THE MOTORCYCLES.

CERTIFIED LETTERS, PHONE CALLS AND EMAILS TO NORTH AMERICAN DISTRIBUTOR GO UNANSWERED. *TR
