THE 2004 KAWASAKI EX250, HOLE IN THE GAS TANK DUE TO THE LENGTH OF THE SCREW PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. I HAVE GIVEN IT TO A DEALER, BUT DO NOT THINK THAT THEY WILL GET AN APPROVAL FROM KAWASAKI TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. I WOULD LIKE TO PETITION TO FILE MY CASE WITH NHTSA. *AK I AM A NEW, BEGINNER MOTORCYCLE RIDER, THUS DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT MOTORCYCLES TO BEGIN WITH. EVER SINCE I HAVE BEEN RIDING ON THE MOTORCYCLE, I OFTEN DID SMELL GASOLINE, AND OFTEN MY EYES BURNED AFTER RIDING THE MOTORCYCLE. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT AND THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS THE TYPICAL FEELING AFTER RIDING A MTORCYCLE, BUT IT TURNS OUT THAT SMALL TRACES OF GASOLINE HAS BEEN LEAKING FROM IT EVER SINCE I HAD OWNED THE MOTORCYCLE (APPROX. 2 MONTHS). I BOUGHT THE USED MOTORCYCLE, THUS AM A SECOND OWNER. REGARDLESS, THERE WAS A FLAW IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF THE MOTORCYCLE AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY THE DEALER/MANUFACTURER. WHAT MORE CAN I DO TO MAKE SURE THAT I GET PROPER TREATMENT FORM KAWASAKI USA?
