Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THE FUEL TANK SWELLS IN SIZE SO MUCH THAT IT CANNOT BE REINSTALLED TO THE BIKE USING THE FACTORY MOUNTING BRACKET. IT HAD TO BE MODIFIED, AND NOW I MIGHT HAVE TO DRILL A HOLE FURTHER BACK IN THE FRAME TO FIT MY TANK BACK ON. I KNOW MULTIPLE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME BIKE WHO'S TANKS START TO LEAK AFTER THEY EXPAND LIKE THIS, THAT WORRIES ME. THE TANK ALSO DOES NOT HOLD GASOLINE COMPLETELY INSIDE, AS IS EVIDENT BY THE FACT THAT ANY DECALS ON MY BIKE BUBBLE OFF FROM FUEL ABSORBING INTO THE TANK THEN THE DECAL. I DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS BUT FOR A SMALL RUN PRODUCTION BIKE, IT SURE DOES HAPPEN ON A LOT OF THEM. IT IS A CONSTANT ISSUE IN THE LOCAL SHOP AND ON THE INTERNET MESSAGE BOARDS. *TR

THE FUEL TANK HAS DEVELOPED A LEAK. THE LEAK APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND IS COMING FROM A THREADED FITTING. THE TANK WAS NOT MECHANICALLY DAMAGED IN ANY WAY. *TR
