Recall 2002248

The issue

On certain motorcycles, the 3rd and 4th gear (shift) wheels may not be securely seated on the intermediate shaft. Consequently, when attempting to shift from 5th to 6th gear, engagement of two (5th and 6th) gears may occur simultaneously. If this happens, the gear wheel may crack resulting in a loss of transmission capability, or, a lock of the transmission may occur. If the latter occurs, the rear wheel may lock which, depending upon traffic and road conditions, and the rider's reaction, could affect the stability of the motorcycle. Correction: Dealer will replace the transmission gearbox.

Description (français)

Sur certaines motocyclettes, les roues d'engrenage des 3e et 4e rapports peuvent ne pas être ajustées serrées sur l'arbre intermédiaire. En conséquence, quand le pilote essaie de passer de la 5e à la 6e vitesse, il se peut que les deux rapports s'engagent simultanément. Si c'est le cas, la roue d'engrenage risque de se fissurer, entraînant une perte de capacité de transmission ou le grippage de la boîte de vitesses. Si la boîte de vitesses grippe, la roue arrière se bloquera, ce qui, dépendant de la circulation, des conditions routières et de la réaction du conducteur, risque de nuire à la stabilité de la moto. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer la boîte d'engrenages.
