Concern

Rear wheel may lock up

Defect, as DVSA words it

The replacement cam chain tensioner used in the last recall has not been providing consistent tension adjustment to the cam chain. This can cause abnormal engine noises and could lead to the failure of the cam chain tensioner adjuster. This could cause the rear wheel to lock up and may disturb the riders ability to control the motorcycle which could result in an accident.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall affected machines and fit ratchet type chain tensioner adjuster kit.

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.
