How Many Warriors Have Sprung a Fuel Leak?

[arizonawarrior]

It seems like a large number of fuel leaks this season, is anyone else wondering if there should be a dry-break recall? Figured I'd ask if you'd post-up only if your Warrior has sprung a fuel leak, and where. Please include your bike's model year too.

These are the places I think maybe I've read about a leak: SEE POST #2 FOR MOST RECENT UPDATE.

I think I'll start pointing members here when I see they've posted about a fuel leak. Maybe there will be enough activity to send to Yamaha.

2003 Warrior.

Rear tank bracket fractured on the spot welds, had it welded, all ok.

About a year later, suffered a stress fracture in the skin of the tank on the underside (right side, from above the tank). Welded that it, but it fractured further along a few months later. Bit the bullet and bought a new tank.

All info on problems in my posts.

Mine did. Fuel filter where gas line connects at the tank on the left side under the air scoop.

02, bottom plate near seat. About where it would leak where they did the recall and replaced the pad. Took it to yamaha couple years ago. They said the recall was done on my bike and they were not responsible. They said probably corrosion, I say bs. corrosion maybe, but caused by vibration of the undersized pad.

My response was that the damage was already done, it just took a few years to fail. They still said no. Ended up buying used black cherry tins here an changed from imperial red. like the new color but still feel jilted. Still have the original leaking tank.

I gave a drybreak to a member named KJL who has an 02. his drybreak cracked at the seam, It was the one on the left side.

'07, aux tank under seat. Exposed rim at top was rusted, corroded & had trashed o rings. Cleaned up with scotch bright pad on a 90 degree hand held grinder, new o rings along with some fuel resistant sealer to keep any water out. Fine now.
