What's wrong?
The fuel supply line on the 2018 Kymco Like 200I carries gasoline from the fuel pump toward the engine. A clamp holds that line tight so fuel stays sealed inside while the motorcycle is switched on and running. That clamp has to stay tight under fuel pressure and vibration.
On affected Like 200I motorcycles, the clamp on the high-pressure fuel line can loosen after operation. Once the clamp loses its grip, fuel can escape from the line instead of staying inside the fuel system. The recall repair tightens the clamp on the existing component, so the line is secured again.
A rider can smell gasoline when the motorcycle is switched on, stopped, or parked. Fuel stains under the motorcycle are another warning sign that fuel has leaked from the supply line.
