description: AFTER A FOUR HOUR RIDE, I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION TO REFUEL. WHEN I WAS READY TO LEAVE, MY PARKING BRAKE CABLE WOULD NOT RELEASE. I HAD TO GET UNDER THE MACHINE AND PULL IT FREE IN ORDER TO RIDE HOME. IT TURNED OUT THE CABLE HAD MELTED, ALONG WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE CHARCOAL CANISTER. ALL THREE WERE REPLACED DURING THE RECALL. IN MARCH, WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON I-95 SOUTH OF FREDERICKSBURG VA, MY MACHINE STALLED AND I HAD TO CALL FOR A TOW TRUCK. A RUBBER HOSE GOING TO THE THROTTLE BODY HAD CRACKED. AT NUMEROUS TIMES I HAVE RECEIVED FIRST DEGREE BURNS ON MY INNER THIGHS FROM HEAT, UNDER THE SEAT. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT THE HEAT THAT ALL THE PLASTIC AND RUBBER PARTS HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO, AND WHAT MAY FAIL,NEXT. IF A RUBBER FUEL LINE CRACKS, IT COULD BE CATASTROPHIC. *TR
