Fuel System, Gasoline #07V026000 · 2007 · 2,044 units
Problem: Certain motorcycles may have a vibration at the mounting location of the bank angle sensor which, if combined with the misrouting of various wires that impinge on the sensor or its pigtail, can compromise the isolation of the bank angle sensor.
Risk: This may create a false 'tip' signal and cause the engine to quit running while being driven, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will move the bank angle sensor from the original location on the battery tray to a location on the seat latch. the recall began on march 5, 2007. owners may contact buell at 1-414-343-8400.
