Defect Summary

Consequence Summary
ENGINE STALLING WHILE RIDING COULD DISTURB THE DRIVER'S ABILITY TO CONTROL THE MOTORCYCLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Corrective Summary
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ORIGINAL RUBBER FUEL HOSE WITH A COMBINATION METAL AND RUBBER FUEL PIPE SET WHICH WILL ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF A FUEL HOSE DISCONNECTING FROM THE FUEL PUMP.
