Details

What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, the top mount for the single rear shock is spot welded in position during frame manufacture, then is supposed to be completely welded to the frame in a subsequent operation. In a small number of frames, it appears this subsequent welding operation was not performed.

Why it matters: The welding may become loose while the motorcycle is in motion increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: All owners have been contacted and arrangements have been made to repair their motorcycles.
