Concern

Front engine mounting bolts may not be to correct specification

Defect, as DVSA words it

If continuously ridden in the condition the front engine mounting bolts may break and in the worse case the frame could break and cause a loss of control on the motorcycle: If continuously ridden in the condition the front engine mounting bolts may break and in the worse case the frame could break and cause a loss of control on the motorcycle.This could seriously affect the handling of the machine.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

On affected machines check bolts for security and depending upon outcome of the inspection clean frame and replace bolts or replace bolts and frame.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference, because the reference DVSA lists is too short to match safely. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
