The problem
On certain motorcycles, some of the fuel supply hose leading from the fuel tank to the fuel rail may be incorrect for use in a pressurized fuel system application.
The risk
Incorrect hoses may leak fuel or crack. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the markings on the fuel hose to determine if replacement is required. If necessary, dealers will replace the fuel hose with a new one of the correct material. The recall began on august 1, 2005. Owners may contact victory at 1-763-417-8650.
