The motorcycle leaks gasoline from under the fuel tank, where the metal in-tank fuel pump assembly access plate bolts into the underside of the plastic fuel tank. *tr while the machine's engine IS running, this leaks alarming amounts of gasoline onto the engine's right cylinder head and onto the rider's right foot, forming a puddle of gasoline under the motorcycle while the motorcycle IS stopped. If an attempt to ride IS made, dripping gasoline on the hot cylinder head and hot exhaust pipe below it continues. the year 1994 was the first year of manufacture for this model.
