Advice needed :evil:
The fuel tank on my Vara collpased due to a fuelty fuel tank breather pipe. :shock: The fuelpumped suction is so high that it caused two indentations on both sides of the tank.
After the weekends ride the fuel tank started leaking, upon which I took it back to Honda to enquire how far they are regarding the replacement of the tank.
I have been promptly informed that the damage must have caused by myself. I have done some research on the internet and found out that it is not so uncommon.
Honda seems to be thinking otherwise, I'm not willing to let go this battle so easily. Problem is if I replace it at my own expense I might be facing a similar situation in a years time again :evil:
Any advise, or other Vara owners with similar experiences
