NHTSA recall 06V005000

What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, the pinch bolt hole on the left side of the lower front fork triple clamp was not threaded to the full design depth. This allowed the pinch bolt to be tightened to its designed torque value, but did not provide sufficient clamping force on the left fork tube.

Why it matters: This condition could cause steering problems and create the potential for a crash resulting in injury or death.

The fix: Dealers will tap additional threads into the lower fork holder clamping bolt hole free of charge. The recall began on January 17, 2006.
