has anybody else had the recall about the fuel tank prone to leaking ? would be interested to see if it has leaked on anyone yet or is the recall for uk bikes only ?

 

I have no problem with mine and I have not heard about this yet.

 

I got the recall. I had no problems with the tank but i took it anyways.Dealer said it would be tested and replaced only if needed. Tank got replaced. Was without the bike for a day and half.

 

where you from? maybe we should all take ours in?

 

It's only for the 06-07 models

I had posted about this several months ago, with quite a few responses, so check that out for good info. Before you take it in, call the dealer and make sure they have one in stock, otherwise it'll be there until they get one in. I called, they had one left. Took it in, got it replaced and two hours later I went and picked it up.
Make sure they route the hoses correctly. One member here took it in, got it replaced, then at high rpmthe engine woulddie due to the vent hose being pinched causing a vaccuum and fuel starvation.

 

cheers for the great info guys , will take it into the dealers to be on the safe side , though im more worried about a 17 year old spotty teenager working on my bike than i am about the petrol tank leaking ...................

 

Most all reputable dealers now have certified mechanics to stay in business. I am from here in the states. GA to be exact.

 

here in the uk theyhave apprentices in some dealer garages who would struggle identifying the front from the back of the bike .lol

 

my 06 was taken in and tested. mine was fine but my friends needed to be replaced.

 

is it a quick check to see if a replacement is needed ? did they let your friend see the cause on the old tank ?
