Concern

Machine can be ridden with side stand extended

Defect, as DVSA words it

The mounting of the side-stand switch with a circlip is insufficient. As a result of this the side-stand switch may work loose and be damaged. If the side-stand switch does not function correctly the engine is no longer switched off when the side-stand is extended and a gear engaged. It would be possible for the driver to drive off with the side stand extended.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to modify the side stand switch mounting. The switch will be bolted on.

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. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.

Reading this against the source

This page is what the DVSA published in its file of vehicle recalls, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /uk-recalls, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
