FUEL TANK WELDS ARE BAD, CAUSING FUEL TO LEAK OUT OF THE TANK ONTO ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, SEAT AND ENGINE. GAS LEAKS ONTO CLOTHING CAUSING A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO POSSIBLE EXPLOSION. THIS IS MY SECOND TANK, AND IT LEAKS OUT OF THE SAME AREA AS THE ORIGINAL. FACTORY REFUSES TO ADDRESS THIS. THE NATURE OF THESE LEAKS CAN CAUSE BODILY HARM TO BOTH THE DRIVER AN PASSENGER. THIS MODEL BIKE SOMEHOW SLIPPED THOUGH THE CRACKS ON THE RECALL. THE LEAK HAPPENS BOTH IN USE OR PARKED. GAS ALSO LEAKS ON THE GROUND.
