2. BRAKING PERFORMANCE MAY BE REDUCED

   RM/2016/038 · 8 Sep 2016

   8 Sep 2016

   Defect

   Anomalies in the manufacturing process have resulted in certain batches of hand brake cylinders with defective machining. This can lead to early wear of the sealing cup in the hand brake cylinder thus leading to impaired braking performance.

   Remedy

   Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and check the batch number of the hand brake cylinder. If the batch number appears on the affected list replace the hand brake cylinder.

   RM/2016/024 · 12 May 2016

   12 May 2016

   Defect

   The connecting rod may fail in early life under certain load conditions. The machines in question are designed to be used off road and as such power request is a factor in the control of the machine. If a connecting rod failure occurs in this type machine the rider may be exposed to significant risk.

   Remedy

   Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and replace the complete crankshaft.

4. FRONT WHEEL MAY FAIL

   RM/2015/043 · 22 Dec 2015

   22 Dec 2015

   Defect

   Due to variations in the spoke manufacturing process some spokes on the front wheel may exhibit quality deviations. Depending on where they are fitted in the wheel care and spoke tension it is possible that individual spokes may break while riding. This can overload the remaining intact spokes and consequently cause them to break which can affected the stability of the machine.

   Remedy

   Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and replace the spokes that are fitted to the front wheel.

   Defect

   The forks may not have been correctly assembled which could lead to initially knocking and the damping in the affected strut decreasing. If the condition is allowed to progress the inside of the fork will be damaged and the fork may seize.

   Remedy

   Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and remove the fork cap. Check the locking nut for correct torque and tighten if necessary.
