Structure · Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
Details
What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, the main stand is attached to the frame with two brackets, nuts and bolts. The nuts are spot-welded to the brackets. If clearance exists between the nut and bracket, the spot welds may be broken when the bolt is torqued.

The fix: Dealers will install new brackets, longer bolts and locknuts. Owner notification began on June 29, 2004. Owners should contact american Honda at 1-800-999-1009.
