Incident: January 12, 2012 · Filed: April 22, 2013

THE FUEL TANK SWELLS IN SIZE SO MUCH THAT IT CANNOT BE REINSTALLED TO THE BIKE USING THE FACTORY MOUNTING BRACKET. IT HAD TO BE MODIFIED, AND NOW I MIGHT HAVE TO DRILL A HOLE FURTHER BACK IN THE FRAME TO FIT MY TANK BACK ON. I KNOW MULTIPLE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME BIKE WHO'S TANKS START TO LEAK AFTER THEY EXPAND LIKE THIS, THAT WORRIES ME. THE TANK ALSO DOES NOT HOLD GASOLINE COMPLETELY INSIDE, AS IS EVIDENT BY THE FACT THAT ANY DECALS ON MY BIKE BUBBLE OFF FROM FUEL ABSORBING INTO THE TANK THEN THE DECAL. I DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS BUT FOR A SMALL RUN PRODUCTION BIKE, IT SURE DOES HAPPEN ON A LOT OF THEM. IT IS A CONSTANT ISSUE IN THE LOCAL SHOP AND ON THE INTERNET MESSAGE BOARDS. *TR

ODI #10278548

Incident: July 15, 2009 · Filed: July 28, 2009

THE FUEL TANK ON MY 2006 KTM 950SM MOTORCYCLE FAILED, CAUSING A GASOLINE LEAK WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FIRE, CRASH, AND/OR POSSIBLE DEATH OR INJURY. THE LOCATION OF THE FAILURE IS AT THE AREA WHERE THE FUEL SENSOR PLUGS INTO THE SIDE OF THE TANK. THE PLASTIC AROUND THE SENSOR DISINTEGRATED, CAUSING THE LEAK. BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY THE DEALER WOULD NOT REPLACE THE FUEL TANK UNDER WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD INITIATE A RECALL. *TR

ODI #10237269

Incident: June 27, 2008 · Filed: August 6, 2008

THE 2006 KTM SUPERMOTO 950 HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE LEFT SIDE OF THE GAS TANK. THE TANK WILL LEAK WHERE THE OUTPUT IS ATTACHED. THE LEAK IS SIGNIFICANT AND THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE LISTING THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET. KTM STATES IT WILL REPLACE THE TANK, BUT WILL CHANGE FULL PRICE FOR THE EXCHANGE. THE TANKS COST OVER ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS. THE LEAK IS CAUSED BECAUSE THE PLASTIC IS THIN AT THIS POINT IN THE TANK AND WILL WARP. *TR
