Recall 98V2870006,087 vehiclesopened after NHTSA action (ODI)

Problem: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTORCYCLES. THE HOSE CONNECTING THE FUEL PUMP TO THE FUEL FILER CAN COME OFF CAUSING A LCAK OF FUEL PRESSURE OT THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. THIS CAN PREVENT THE MOTORCYCLE FROM STARTING OR CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL.
Risk: ENGINE STALLING WHILE RIDING COULD DISTURB THE DRIVER'S ABILITY TO CONTROL THE MOTORCYCLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Fix: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ORIGINAL RUBBER FUEL HOSE WITH A COMBINATION METAL AND RUBBER FUEL PIPE SET WHICH WILL ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF A FUEL HOSE DISCONNECTING FROM THE FUEL PUMP.

Recall repairs are free at any authorised dealer. A recall listed here may already have been fixed on a particular car: enter its 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see open recalls.

I HAVE ALREADY BROUGHT THE BIKE INTO THE DEALER 3 TIMES ALREADY. THEY HAVE REPLACED A FEW GASKETS BUT THE BIKE STILL LEAKS OIL. SINCE THEN MY FACTORY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND THEY ARE CHARGING ME TO LOOK AT IT NOW. THE LAST TIME I HAD THEM LOOK AT THE BIKE I WAS CHARGED $50.00. AND THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING. THE NEXT DAY THE BIKE LEAKED OIL AGAIN. IF YOU COULD PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM
