The issue
On certain motorcycles, the throttle cable retention nuts may not have been adequately tightened during vehicle assembly. Should they loosen, the throttle may be prevented from opening or closing normally. This could result in a loss of vehicle propulsion or make it difficult to slow or stop the motorcycle unless the clutch lever is depressed. Depending on traffic and road conditions, and the rider’s reactions, either issue could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will tighten the throttle cable retention nuts to the specified torque.
Description (français)
Sur certaines motocyclettes, les écrous de retenue du câble de l'accélérateur pourraient ne pas avoir été serrés adéquatement pendant le montage du véhicule. S'ils se desserraient, le papillon des gaz pourrait ne pas pouvoir s'ouvrir ou se fermer normalement. Cela pourrait causer une perte de propulsion du véhicule ou faire qu'il soit difficile de ralentir ou d'arrêter la motocyclette à moins que le levier de l'embrayage soit enfoncé. Selon la densité de la circulation, l'état de la route et les réactions du conducteur, l'un ou l'autre de ces problèmes pourrait augmenter les risques d'accident endommageant des biens matériels ou blessant quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront serrer les écrous de retenue du câble de l'accélérateur au couple de serrage spécifié.
