Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On my 2006 ktm 525 exc the gas cap came off while trail riding and spilled gas all over me. this was not due to a crash. i was simply riding the motorcycle off road. this has happened twice with the same results. i have tried the o-ring replacement fix recommended by ktm and it worked for a short time and now it is leaking and spraying gas all over the bike and rider. this is a known issue and ktm will not fix it. *nm
