THIS BEING MY 2ND GAS TANK FROM KTM, AFTER EACH TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK WITH FUEL AND CONTINUING UNTIL THE TANK IS LESS THAN HALF FULL, WHILE RIDING THE MOTORCYCLE, FUEL IS FORCED OUT ONTO THE SURFACE OF THE TANK FROM AROUND THE MOUNTING PLATE/SYSTEM WHERE THE GAS CAP ASSEMBLY IS MOUNTED TO THE TOP OF THE TANK, AND THE GAS RUNS DOWN THE TANK AND ON TOP OF THE MOTOR. EVEN WHEN PARKED AND NOT RUNNING, GAS FUMES ARE COMING THROUGH THE MOUNTING SYSTEM. IT APPEARS THAT THE MOUNTING PLATE OF THE TANK IS WARPING BECAUSE OF THE PLASTIC TANK, NOT ALL…

THE FUEL TANK LEAKS FROM THE GAS CAP. ALSO, THIS IS NOT MY FIRST KTM, WHICH HAS HAD A LEAKING GAS CAP. IT'S MY 3RD ONE. THIS ISSUE IS VERY WELL-DOCUMENTED ON THE FORUMS AS WELL AS ON YOUTUBE.

Owner report 11031924 · 2017-10-05 (October 5, 2017)
THERE IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT CAUSING THE PLASTIC GAS TANK TO SWELL, CRACK AND BECOMING FLEXIBLE TO THE TOUCH DUE TO THE PRESSURE AND GASSES FROM THE FUEL. THE RESULT OF THE GAS TANK SWELLING, IT WILL SPRAY GAS ONTO THE BIKE AND THE RIDER WHILE IN MOTION DUE TO IT NOT SEALING PROPERLY AROUND THE FLANGE. THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE WITH NO FIX TO THE PROBLEM. I PURCHASED MY 2014 KTM 690 DUKE NEW ON JANUARY 1, 2017. I HAD THE TANK REPLACED BY THE LOCAL KTM DEALER (TJ CYCLES IN AUSTIN, TEXAS) IN FEBRUARY AND THE ISSUE HAS OCCURRED AGAIN. THERE ARE…
