FUEL FILTER ASSEMBLY 5PX-24560-00 HAD AN INCORRECT TOLERANCE FIT AND BEGAN LEAKING FUEL ON TO THE ENGINE. LUCKILY THE UNIT STAYED TOGETHER WHILE THE MOTORCYCLE WAS TRAVELING. UPON REPLACING PART IT SIMPLY FELL APART AND CAUSED ALL FUEL IN THE TANK TO DRAIN. FAILURE DURING TRAVEL WOULD LIKELY CAUSE A FIRE AND INJURY OR DEATH TO THE RIDER. *TR

I RECENTLY TOOK A MOTORCYCLE TRIP TO COLORADO, WHILE THERE I HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS WHERE ON HOT DAYS MY MOTORCYCLE WOULD OVERFLOW GAS ONTO HOT ENGINE AND PIPES. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS BIKE AND I FEEL THAT, DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF FUEL SPILLING ONTO HOT ENGINE AND PIPES, IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION OCCURS. *TR

They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
