Concern

Possible engine cut

Defect, as DVSA words it

There are two scenarios from essentially one defect in that the washer for the side stand spring bolt does not have sufficient hardness and may deform. This deformation could cause the side bolt to flex and fracture during side stand operation. In this scenario the side stand would not remain in the retracted position which would be obvious to the operator. In the second scenario remembering the side stand is fitted with an ignition cut-off system if the side stand pivot bolt corrodes the corrosion may allow the side stand to retract but later with vibration drop. If this happens the engine could cut-out without warning.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit countermeasure washer and new spring bolt and nut.

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 DVSA lists none for this recall. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
