DEFECT #1 - FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS


Posted on: 1986-07-18
Description
The distance between the fuel cock and carburetor may be insufficient to allow proper clearance for the outlet fuel line causing it to chafe.  Consequence of defect: continued chafing could cause the fuel line to fail, allowing gasoline to leak which may result in a fire if a source of ignition is present.

Consequence


Corrective Action
Install modified fuel cock that allows additional fuel hose clearance.

Notes
System: fuel.  Vehicle description: motorcycles.

DEFECT #2 - SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC


Posted on: 1986-07-18

Heavy load and/or highly compressed rear suspension could cause the rear brake hose to contact the passenger's right footpeg securing stud, possibly fraying the hose.  Consequence of defect: the hydraulic brake hose could wear through, causing a leak and resulting in the failure of the rear brake system.  Failure of the rear brake system may contribute to an accident and personal injury.

Consequence


Corrective Action
Install additional guide on the brake hose holder to prevent excess brake hose travel.  Also, install a modified passenger footpeg.
