Details

What's wrong: In certain riding conditions involving increased vibration, the brake fluid in the front reservoir can foam.

Why it matters: This could lead to a reduced braking capability of the front brake system, possibly resulting in a crash.

The fix: The front brake fluid reservoir will be retrofitted with a screen insert. The remedy will be performed free of charge. The recall began on September 16, 2009.
