Example complaints
Fuel system: “2008 Honda shadow spirit after purchasing the bike from a a Honda dealership as new, I kept noticing a strong gas smell in the garage.but I was never able to find the source, I suspected that it had something to do with my motorcycle but could not see anything so I made sure that the petcock valve was in the off position and then I would notice that after time the smell disappeared. Every time I would take the bike out for a ride I would smell this smell when I parked it but as long as I kept the petcock valve closed in the garage the smell would disipate. …”
