SINCE PURCHASE, FUEL BREATHER TUBE ON HONDA AERO MOTORCYCLE 2002 CONTINUOUSLY LEAKS GASOLINE ONTO THE GROUND WHEN THE BIKE IS IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND ENGINE IS OFF. HONDA DEALER IDENTIFIED PROBLEM AS DEFECTIVE TUBING IN GAS TANK LEADING TO FUEL BREATHER TUBE AND WITH SUPPORT OF AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY, TRIED TO REPLACE TANK. FIRST TWO REPLACEMENT TANKS FAILED VACUUM TESTING BY DEALER DEMONSTRATING LEAKS IN BOTH. AMERICAN HONDA INSISTED ON REPLACING ANOTHER DEFECTIVE TANK WHICH LEAKED EVEN WORSE (APPROX. 20 - 30 CC PER DAY UNDER BIKE). AFTER THIS FAILURE TO CORRECT PROBLEM, AMERICAN HONDA INFORMED ME THIS WAS NOT A DEFECT AND WAS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THIS MODEL. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT IN TERMS OF FIRE FROM GAS PUDDLING UNDER BIKE AS WELL AS GAS COMING INTO CONTACT WITH TIRES WHEN SURFACE ALLOWS IT TO RUN OFF.
