When I bought the bike I specifically asked them (in writing) to check
that the fuel sender did NOT have a green cap and that there were no
outstanding recall items - this was thanks to the info from various
members of this list. So if it has, and since I put this in writing, it
could be a touch expensive for the dealer if anything should go wrong :-)
