MY 1987 SUZUKI 1400 INTRUDER HAS RECENTLY SPRUNG A LEAK IN THE REAR AREA OF THE WELD SEAM. NOT ONLY IS IT DAMAGING TO THE FRONT PART OF MY SEAT, BUT, MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT IS LEAKING GAS DOWN ON MY ENGINE, WHICH IS "VERY" HAZARDOUS! *JB I HAVE CONTACTED SUZUKI, BUT WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER MY 1987 MOTORCYCLE, ALTHOUGH IT IS A WELD SEAM DEFECT, BUT WILL SELL ME A NEW GAS TANK FOR $447.15. THERE HAVE BEEN NO FATALITIES, FAILURES, INJURIES, FIRES, CRASHES, NOR DAMAGES OR REPORTS TO THE POLICE YET! PLEASE HELP RESOLVE THIS PROBL…

FUEL TANK HAS DEVELOPED A HOLE FROM THE INSIDE OUT, AT THE LEFT CORNER BY THE SEAT. I CALLED TWO MOTORCYCLE REPAIR SHOPS, AND BOTH PEOPLE I SPOKE WITH KNEW WHERE THE HOLE WAS, AND WHAT MODEL I HAVE JUST BY TELLING THEM THERE WAS A HOLE.

MY SUZUKI 1500 INTRUDER MOTORCYCLE'S EMISSIONS SYSTEM FAILED. I NOTICED SMELL OF GASOLINE ABOUT THE VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTION I FOUND A BAD WELD IN THE SEAM ON THE GAS TANK AT THE FRONT RIGHT MOUNTING TAB. FOR SOME REASON THE TANK SEEMS TO BE UNDER STRESS AT THAT POINT, THAT COMBINED WITH A DEFECTIVE SEAM WELD AT THAT LOCATION CAUSED A LEAK A THAT POINT. I HAVE TEMPORARILY REPAIRED THE TANK BY REMOVING THE BOLT FROM THAT AREA RELIEVING THE STRESS AND COVERED THE LEAKING AREA WITH EPOXY TO STOP THE GAS LEAK. I HAVE SEVERAL OTHER FRIENDS THAT HA…
