On certain motorcycles, foreign objects such as small stones or other small/hardened road debris could fall into, and become caught between, the throttle body and the engine block. If this happens, movement of the throttle cable pulley can become restricted which could lead to difficult or imprecise throttle control. Correction: Dealers will install a cover over the throttle cable pulley.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2005120.
