PLASTIC GAS TANK IS STARTING TO DEFORM, I BELIEVE DUE TO ETHANOL IN THE GAS. I'M WORRIED IT WILL BE COME A SAFETY ISSUE AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE SEALING SURFACES TO WARP AND LEAK. *TR
OUR BRAKES ARE VERY SPONGY. IN SOME INSTANCES THE FRONT BRAKE LEVER WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO THE HANDLE BAR BEFORE THE BRAKES SHOW ANY SIGNIFICANT SIGN OF STOPPING. IF YOU PUMP UP THE LEVER THE BREAKS ACT MUCH FASTER. SHOULDN'T NEED TO PUMP THE BRAKES. ALSO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SITUATION AS WELL.

AFTER ABOUT 3 MONTHS, MY FRONT BRAKES HAVE TO BE PUMPED UP TO BE USED OR THE LEVER WILL COME ALL THE WAY TO THE GRIP. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES TO HAVE THE BRAKES FIXED. I HAVE PAID TO HAVE NEW BRAKE LINES INSTALLED AND STILL THIS HAS NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE BEEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND ATTEMPTED TO USE THE FRONT BRAKE AND HAD TO PUMP IT BEFORE THERE WAS ANY EFFECT. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT YET. *NM
