What is wrong
Vehicle description: motorcycles. The hose connecting the fuel pump to the fuel filer can come off causing a lcak of fuel pressure ot the fuel injection system. This can prevent the motorcycle from starting or can cause the engine to stall.
The risk
Engine stalling while riding could disturb the driver's ability to control the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the original rubber fuel hose with a combination metal and rubber fuel pipe set which will eliminate the possibility of a fuel hose disconnecting from the fuel pump.
