Description of the problem	I have a 2005 yamaha roadstar motorcycle, which leaks gas after riding, then stopping, then trying to restart. It leaks a large amount of gas, even with the fuel petcock turned off. I have been to 3 dealerships, only one was willing to work on it, the others said it was not a problem that they were aware of, and did not know what to do about it. The one that did work on it did not fix the problem. This is a very dangerous fire hazard. On theory is poor design, that the gas actually "boils" back out of the carb due to excessive heat.
