Risk Description
In affected motorcycles, the engagement dogs of certain transmission components may be incorrectly machined, which could cause abnormal wear that eventually results in a broken retaining circlip. If the circlip breaks, the transmission could lock up, which would also cause the rear wheel to lock up during moving. This could lead to loss of control of the motorcycle.
