THE CARBURETOR PUKES GAS ONTO THE HOT ENGINE AND EXHAUST WHEN STOPPING AND SHUTTING OFF THE MOTORCYCLE ON HOT DAYS AND WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT. I HAVE HEARD CASES WHERE THE MOTORCYCLE HAS CAUGHT FIRE. THIS CONCERNS ME VERY MUCH!! THE YAMAHA REPS SAY THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS AND THEY HAVE NOT PROVIDED A FIX OR RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE! AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED A LONG TIME AGO!! THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE WHEN THE WEATHER OR MOTORCYCLE IS HOT!
