The fuel tank on this motorcycle has developed a leak from fuel pump mounting flange on bottom of tank. I purchased this motorcycle used from a friend who rarely used it, and I suspect it has been leaking for quite some time. This motorcycle has only 3,600 miles on it and has never been in an accident or had any modifications that would cause it to leak. Motorcycle IS stored indoors and considered in excellent condition. The mounting flange surface on tank IS very thin and has warped between pump mount bolts causing the leak as well as some corrosion of mounting flange. I had been smelling fuel since I purchased it and finally was able to find the leak. This leak has serious potential to cause fire and death/injury because it leaks onto exhaust, as well as leaking and trickling down onto frame and other components and possibly leaking on tire causing loss of traction and control. According to my online research this IS a fairly common problem on aprilia motorcycles manufactured from approx 1999 thru 2010 and possibly beyond. Aprilia refuses to acknowledge the defect or offer any assistance outside of their standard warranty coverage.you can see the warpage and gaps in attached pictures with straight edge used for comparison. The darker discolored areas on tank flange picture are where the fuel leakage IS occurring. The motorcycle leaks fuel at all times whether running or sitting still, but may leak more when running or left out in sun due to heat and expansion. This should be considered a very dangerous defect due to high risk of fire as well as causing possible loss of traction due to fuel leakage on tire or suspension components. The only proper repair IS to replace tank, but they are no longer available from manufacturer which leaves vehicle inop, or subject to possibly dangerous/improper repairs. I have more pictures and documentation to provide if requested.
