I NOTICED 3 WEEKS AGO THAT THERE WAS A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE AROUND MY BIKE. SO I LOOKED AROUND THE ENGINE AND DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING. I THOUGHT I WAS IMAGING THINGS, BEING OVERLY PRECAUTIOUS. SINCE THEN THE SMELL HAS DEVELOPED INTO A WET SPOT UNDERNEATH MY BIKE, A SMALL PUDDLE. THE FUEL VALVE ON MY GAS TANK IS DRIPPING GAS. THE CHROME ON MY CLUTCH COVER IS NOW WAVY BECAUSE OF THE LEAK. I NORMALLY START MY BIKE IN THE GARAGE TO WARM IT UP BUT AM AFRAID IT WILL START A FIRE. AFTER CONDUCTING SOME RESEARCH I CAME UPON SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING. I NOTICED IT WAS THE SAME KIND OF BIKE BUT DIFFERENT YEARS. THEN SOMEONE MENTIONED THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL BECAUSE MANY OTHER BIKES…

THE FUEL PETCOCK (FUEL CONTROL VALVE) DIAPHRAGM IS LEAKING ON A HOT ENGINE. HONDA HAS A RECALL FOR THIS PART IN THE 2007 AND 2008 BUT NOT FOR THE 2005 MODEL YEAR. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE AS FUEL IS LEAKING ON A HOT ENGINE! I HAVE CALLED HONDA AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I SPOKE WITH TWO SEPARATE GENTLEMEN AT 1-866-784-1870 WITHOUT LUCK. *TR
