What NHTSA recorded

On certain motorcycles, the washer for the side stand spring bolt does not have sufficient harness and could deform, which could cause the bolt to flex and eventually break during side stand operation.

Possible consequence

A retracted side stand could drop while riding, possibly activating the side stand ignition cut-off system. If the ignition is cut, the engine will stall without warning, which could cause a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will install an improved washer and a new spring bolt and nut. The recall began on november 30, 2004. Owners should contact honda at 1-866-784-1870.
