Details

What's wrong: These motorcycles were manufactured with an incorrect air cleaner component.

Why it matters: This component could restrict air flow into the float bowl of the carburetor, causing fuel to overflow, which could result in a fire. This could also prevent sufficient fuel flow, which could cause the engine to misfire or stall.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the float bowl vent assembly for proper venting and correct this condition if necessary.
