WHEN I WENT TO START UP MY BIKE AFTER THE LONG WINTER LAY-OVER GASOLINE POURED OUT OF THE FUEL RAILS THAT FEED THE CARBURETORS. I MADE SOME CALLS TO REPAIR SHOPS AND VISITED SOME FORUMS ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE RUBBER O-RINGS USED. SYNTHETIC RUBBER ( VITON ) SEALS ARE RECOMMENDED. I BELIEVE THIS IS A RECALL MATTER DUE TO THE EXTREME RISK OF FIRE. *TR
