Concern

Re – tightening of the crankcase fastening bolts

Defect, as DVSA words it

On affected motorcycles the crankcase fastening bolts may have been over-tightened during production. This can cause seizure of the crankshaft main bearing leading to abnormal noise and engine stalling.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Check crankshaft main bearing and retighten the crankcase fastening bolts.
