Nov 6, 1979
THE FRONT FENDER BOLTS ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY LOOSEN AFTER EXTENDED VEHICLE USE. IF UNDETECTED, THE LOOSENING COULD RESULT IN EITHER BOLT LOSS OR FAILURE WHICH COULD ALLOW THE FENDER TO CONTACT THE TIRE.
Consequence: Not supplied
Remedy: DEALER WILL INSTALL AN IMPROVED FRONT FENDER BRACKET SYSTEM AT NO COST TO OWNER.
Jan 4, 1979
THE INVOLVED MOTORCYCLES WERE PRODUCED WITH AN INCORRECT FRONT BRAKE CALIPER PISTON ASSEMBLY WHICH ALLOWS EXCESSIVE CALIPER PAD RETRACTION FROM THE FRONT BRAKE DISC. BECAUSE OF THIS, MORE THAN ONE APPLICATION OF THE FRONT HANDLEVER COULD BE REQUIRED TO PRODUCE EFFECTIVE FRONT BRAKING OF THE MOTORCYCLE.
Consequence: Not supplied
Remedy: THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKE CALIPER AT NO COST TO OWNER.
Jul 19, 1978
THE INVOLVED MOTORCYCLES WERE MANUFACTURED WITH FRONT BRAKE MASTER CYLINDERS IN WHICH THE PLUNGER PISTON BORE DIAMETER WAS HONED .015 INCHES OVER MAXIMUM SPECIFICATIONS. THIS OVERSIZED BORE RESULTS IN A POOR FIT BETWEEN THE ELASTOMERIC PISTON CUP AND THE CYLINDER BORE, WHICH ALLOWS FLUID LEAKAGE FROM THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM.
Consequence: Not supplied
Remedy: DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER ASSEMBLY AT NO COST TO OWNER.
