Severe fuel leak coming from carburetors after only 13,000 miles on vehicle. It will either start to leak immediately after starting the motorcycle, or it will start leaking at some point after riding is already under way. Either way, fuel will continuously leak onto the entire engine.
Eventually, the engine completely stalls. The second failure occurred today, aug. 17, '07 at approximately 8pm on I-96 in wixom, mi. I was entering the freeway with heavy traffic. When shifting to fifth gear at 70 mph, the engine lost power. I released the clutch and the engine stalled.
