| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Leaking 1/4 turn gas cap on 2006 ktm 450 exc motorcycle that i bought new from powersports east in delaware. ktm apparently knows about the problem and rather than fix this potentially dangerous condition, they elect to give out o-rings as a fix. this does not fix the problem. the effects of gasoline running out of a plastic gas tank and onto a hot engine does not seem to be in any way a safe situation. i believe that ktm has since modified the design of this faulty gas cap, but does not offer the fix to those who have purchased earlier designs. *jb |
