SummaryOn affected vehicles, a clamp on the fuel hose (quick coupling connector to the fuel pump) can happen to be crimped insufficiently. During the motorcycle starting process, the fuel system develops a higher pressure than while riding. This increased pressure during start-up can cause the fuel hose to move on the quick coupling connector and over time could eventually slip off the quick connector coupling. As a consequence, small amounts of fuel can spill under the parked vehicle and the engine will not start.
