FRONT SUSPENSION COULD FAIL
RM/2017/020 · 10 Jul 2017
10 Jul 2017Defect
The fixed fork tube can suffer preliminary damage due to unusual incidents with momentary high stress without the user noticing the damage. Through longer usage with high stress the pressed in seal plug can loosen. This usually leads to oil leaks a clacking noise as well as increasingly imprecise drivability. If these signals are not perceived or ignored and further high stress incidents occur the plug may become completely loose. Subsequently critical driving conditions cannot be ruled out.
Remedy
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and retrofit with an additional fixed fork bush or � if the preliminary damage is too much � the fixed front tubes are replaced by appropriately modified new parts.

OIL MAY LEAK ONTO REAR TYRE
RM/2014/013 · 13 Jun 2014
13 Jun 2014Defect
There is a possibility that pulsating oil pressure can cause the shaft sealing ring at the gearbox output to be dislodged from the gearbox housing. If this situation is not noticed by the rider the leaking oil can contaminate the rear tyre which can lead to a higher risk of collision or rider being unseated.
Remedy
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to fit a retainer to the gearbox.

FRONT BRAKE PIPES MAY LEAK.
RM/2010/008 · 16 Jun 2010
16 Jun 2010Defect
The front brake pipes may leak brake fluid which can be noticed in the first instance by seepage of brake fluid from the front hose/s and a lowering of the fluid level in the reservoir. The next stage of failure would be a spongy feeling to the brake control and dripping fluid from the brake hoses. If all the previous indicators have not been noted and rectified the brakes will eventually not apply.
Remedy
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to check which brake hoses are fitted and if not the latest version fit new brake hoses.
