Details
What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, exposure of the throttle housing to road debris could fall and become caught between the throttle-body and the engine block.
Why it matters: This could restrict movement of the throttle-cable pulley that, in turn, could affect throttle operation and increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will install a cover over the throttle-cable pulley free of charge. The recall began on May 10, 2005.
