Details

What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, a left-side chain tensioner has been incorrectly installed on the right side. As a result, a hex nut, which is used to secure the chain tensioner, is improperly seated against the tensioner.

Why it matters: Loosening of the chain tensioner and the rear wheel axle may occur. This could lead to a condition in which the motorcycle is unstable, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will install a new right side chain tensioner free of charge. The recall began on November 13, 2007.
