The problem
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTORCYCLES. AN IMPROPER SERVICE PROCEDURE THAT MAY BE USED DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE CAN DAMAGE A PRESSURIZED FUEL HOSE. LIFTING THE FRONT OF THE FUEL TANK BEYOND A CERTAIN POINT CAN STRESS AND DAMAGE THE HOSE. THE INTERNALLY DAMAGED HOSE COULD EVENTUALLY CRACK, RESULTING IN A HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL LEAK.
Risk
FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
What owners should do
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL HOSE WITH A LONGER FUEL HOSE.
