STEERING DAMPER MAY BECOME DEFECTIVE.
It has been identified that the steering dampers on likely to be affected machines may become defective due to the coating of the inner section of the cylinder becoming partially detached then partially clogging the oil bores. This can result that the action of the steering damper becoming stiff.
Recalled machines will have the steering damper replaced.
GEARBOX MAY FAIL
Loss of drive may occur due to gearbox failure.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to replace the gearbox with a quality assured unit.
GEARBOX MAY FAIL
Loss of drive may occur due to gearbox failure.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to replace the gearbox with a quality assured unit.
FUEL PRESSURE SENSORS MAY BE DEFECTIVE
The fuel pressure sensor might become defective. If it does become defective it will cause erratic idle speed and possible cutting out.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the fuel pressure sensor and where necessary replace the sensor with a quality assured sensor.
BRAKE DISCS MAY BECOME INSECURE
In later models the bolts retaining the front brake disc may not remain secure for their service life. In earlier models the head of the bolts may damage the speed sensor cable when the machine is ridden.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to 1. (earlier models) fit new threaded fasteners to the brake disc and alter the speed sensor cable routing. 2. (later models) alter the speed sensor cable routing.

FUEL MAY LEAK
Fuel may leak from the fuel tank as a result of the breather getting trapped by neighbouring components.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to re-route the fuel tank breather pipe.
DOOR PRESSURE SENSORS MAY DELAY SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT FOLLOWING AN IMPACT.
It has been identified that the connections for the left and right hand door pressure sensors have been reversed at their connection with the airbag control unit. This would have the effect of delaying the detection of a side impact thus causing the airbag to be deployed too late. It should be noted that the fault would not be indicted by the illumination of the airbag system warning lamp.
Recalled vehicles will have the pin assignment of the airbag control unit corrected.
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL COULD BE LOST
The Anti - Roll Bar fitted to the rear axle has too large a diameter. Detachment may occur with loss of directional control
Recall affected vehicle and replace Anti - Roll Bar.
REAR WHEEL BEARING MAY FAIL
Some motorcycles left the factory with an incorrect circlip fitted to the left hand side of the wheel bearing guide. It is possible for the circlip to rub against the spacing bushing and the resultant metal particles may penetrate the wheel bearing and cause failure. The metal particles may also cause incorrect ABS sensor signals where the warning lamp will illuminated but the brake will still function.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the rear wheel bearings seals circlip and spacing bushing.
FUEL MAY LEAK
In isolated cases it is possible for the fuel lines to leak as a result of damage during their manufacture.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the fuel lines.
REDUCTION OF FRONT BRAKE EFFICIENCY
Vibration on a long ride at a constantly high engine speed can under certain circumstances causing foaming of the brake fluid in the reservoir of the front brakes. The possibility therefore of this foaming causing air to enter into the braking system cannot be excluded. Should air enter the system the efficiency of the front brakes can diminish severely dependant upon the volume of air which has entered the system.
Recalled machines will have the front brake system bled and a damper weight installed in the front brake fluid reservoir.
BRAKE FLUID MAY LEAK
If a brake fluid leak occurs the brake fluid low level warning may be given too late.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the serial number of the brake servo and where necessary replace the cap for the expansion tank which includes the warning switch.
DRIVER'S SEAT BELT MAY DE-LATCH
It has been identified that in the event of a situation which requires activation of the driver's seat belt tensioner. The possibility exists that due to an unfavourable pulse within the seatbelt buckle tensioner mechanism the buckle may open inadvertently.
Recalled vehicles will have the relevant electronic control units reprogrammed.
ENGINE PERFORMANCE MAY BE AFFECTED
It has been identified that the use of a faulty tool during engine assembly has led to isolated incidents of damage to the spark plugs. When the engine is in use the insulator of the central electrode may become displaced and contact he ground electrode. Should this occur it will have a detriment effect on engine performance.
Recalled machines will have the suspect spark plugs replaced.
CORRECT CHAIN TENSIONERS MAY NOT BE FITTED
It has been identified that in production the left hand chain tensioner may have been fitted to the right hand side of the machine.
Recalled machines will have the chain tensioners checked for correct installation and rectified if found to be incorrect or damaged.
HANDLEBARS MAY NOT BE SECURE
Due to a manufacturing non-compliance the handlebar clamping blocks are not to specification. This can result in the handlebars not being held securely in positionn.
Subject machines will have the handlebar clamping blocks replaced with quality assure items.
SIDE STAND MAY DETACH
Due to a possibly misaligned weld the side stand may not be able to retain its load bearing capability in all circumstances.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to replace the frame bottom section.
OIL LEAKAGE MAY OCCUR
It has been identified that frequent short trip usage at low ambient temperatures causes condensation in the engine oil this condenses at the outlet port of the oil-tank breather. If temperature falls below 0 degrees Celsius this may cause condesate to freeze and block the breather line to the oil tank. The engine's lubrication system configuration means that the suction pump's oil delivery rate is higher than that of the delivery pump consequently the over pressure produced can cause the oil tank to rupture allowing oil to escape and contaminate the rear tyre.
Recalled machines will have the oil tank cap replaced.
STEERING LOCK MAY INADVERTENTLY ENGAGE
The control cam of the steering lock may break. This is most likely to occur as the vehicle is started or parked. However the possibility of this occurring whilst the vehicle is in motion cannot be ruled out. In this event the steering lock could engage with the effect that it would no longer be possible to steer the vehicle.
Recall affected vehicles check manufacturer of lock and if necessary replace steering lock.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF BRAKING POWER ASSISTANCE
A temporary fault in the greasing system on the brake servo sealing ring could lead to the sealing ring being subject to wear. In unfavourable conditions the seal may be pressed into the brake servo housing as a consequence of increased friction. The arising leak will cause a hissing sound audible within the vehicle interior with the additional consequence that there may be a risk that loss of brake assistance will ensue.
Recalled vehicles will have the brake servo replaced.

FINAL DRIVE ASSEMBLY MAY LEAK
Oil may leak from the rear wheel final drive which if ignored could lead to contamination of the brake disc and tyre.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and replace the oil seal and spacer.
REAR SHOCK ABSORBER MOUNTING MAY FAIL
It has been identified that the lower rubber mounting on the metal bush of the rear shock absorbers may fail to meet the quality requirement. Dependant on the mileage and operating conditions the rubber mounting may come completely free from the shock absorber. If this occurs the bodywork would no longer be supported above the wheels causing it to come into contact with the wheel concerned. Should this occur the possibility exists that a critical driving condition might occur or even the risk of an accident.
Recalled vehicles will have the rear shock absorbers checked and replaced if necessary.
