What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: on certain motorcycles, the spring in the cam chain tension adjuster can break. Excessive slack will develop in the cam chain, allowing the chain to jump to the wrong position on the cam shaft sprockets.

Possible consequence

Severe engine damage could occur, causing sudden engine failure.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the original cam chain tension adjuster, or the first generation recall tension adjuster, with a new oil-damped ratchet-type cam chain tension adjuster. Dealers will also install a new tension adjuster oil supply hose and a new cam chain guide.
