| Fuel tank developed very large leak and drained completely in less than 2 hours. according to dealer this is not an unusual occurrence for type of bike at 10 years old. luckly i do not have any ignition sources in garage so no fire resulted. leak began after placing bike on center stand after moving to clean garage. full tank of ~5 gallons of fuel was eventually spilled. tank is all alluminum. main leak on left side of bike directly above fuel injectors, engine and ignition coils. smaller leak (paint bubble) on right side of tank at same location. leak seems to be a result of corrorsion from the inside of the tank out, possiably following weld or fold in metal. if failure occurred in closed garage with ignition sources fire/expolsion could result. if failure occured on road fuel would leak onto rider resulting in serious injury in fire. bike is completely stock and unmodified. no accidents affecting tank in history of ownership, however rear of bike damaged in accident in 1991. tank currently repaired with jb weld and i am researching other repair options.*ak | |||
