Details

What's wrong: Under certain riding conditions when the rear brake and the throttle are applied simultaneously, the rear brake caliper support could bend, leading to contact between the brake hose connecting piece on the rear caliper and the swing arm.

Why it matters: Brake fluid leakage from the caliper could occur, resulting in loss of rear braking capability.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the rear brake caliper support and, if it is bent, will replace the swing arm, together with the caliper and brake hose, if necessary. If the support is not bent, it will be reinforced with a plastic block. Owner notification began May 10, 2001.
