Latest 950 Adventure complaints
This motorcycle is equipped with two non-metallic fuel tanks. In 2012 I noticed some deformation occurring with both tanks. It has continued and is becoming worse. The tanks are now severely deformed to such a degree that cracks are forming. Only high quality pump fuel with no additives has been used in these tanks and they have not been exposed to heat in excess of normal operating conditions. If deformation continues these fuel tanks will fail and leak resulting in a fuel fire. This may lead to serious injury or death. *Tr
