1. All repairs to the fuel tank should be carried out by a professional who has experience In this critical and potentially dangerous work.
Even after cleaning and flushing of the fuel system, explosive fumes can remain and ignite during repair of the tank.
2. If the fuel tank is removed from the bike, it should not be placed in an area where sparks or open flames could ignite the fumes coming out of the tank. Be especially careful inside garages where a natural gas-type appliance is located, because the pilot light could cause an explosion.
