What NHTSA recorded

On certain motorcycles, the sidestand may not retract as designed if contact is made with the ground when the vehicle is in motion.

Possible consequence

This could, in turn, disrupt the stability of the motorcycle leading to a crash, causing death or injury to the rider.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the sidestand pivot bolt with a similar bolt that is .100 inch longer free of charge. This change will allow the sidestand to operate as designed. The recall began may 5, 2005. Owners may contact buell at 1-414-343-8400.
