Summary
THE INVOLVED MOTORCYCLES WERE PRODUCED WITH AN INCORRECT FRONT BRAKE CALIPER PISTON ASSEMBLY WHICH ALLOWS EXCESSIVE CALIPER PAD RETRACTION FROM THE FRONT BRAKE DISC. BECAUSE OF THIS, MORE THAN ONE APPLICATION OF THE FRONT HANDLEVER COULD BE REQUIRED TO PRODUCE EFFECTIVE FRONT BRAKING OF THE MOTORCYCLE.
Remedy
THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKE CALIPER AT NO COST TO OWNER.
