Certain motorcycles may have been assembled using an incorrect retaining clip in the rear wheel assembly. This circlip can rub against the spacer bushing, causing metal shavings to penetrate the wheel bearing. Should the wheel bearing fail, it could cause the rear wheel to suddenly lock-up. This, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the rider's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash, causing personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect the retaining circlip. If the wrong circlip was installed, the spacing bushing, both wheel bearings, the circlip and both shaft sealing rings will be replaced.
