| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: From day of purchase, my 2007 ktm 200 xc motorcycle has been leaking gasoline from the gas cap, and splashing fuel into my lap and all over the bike. this is from the 1/4 turn gas cap ktm has been shipping on model year 2006 and 2007 motorcycles. please look at www.ktmtalk.com in the "general forum" for an entire history of owner complaints. and although ktm just recently attempted to fix the issue by mailing new o-rings, the gas cap and tank are the issue, as the cap swells and enlarges the filler hole to the point that the o-ring will only work for a brief period before it begins leaking again. i recommend a 100% recall on the ktm gas tanks. if this was a car spilling gas on our laps, a recall would have already happened. *nm |
