What NHTSA recorded

The balance weights which are attached to the front wheel of the motorcycle may cause the front tire to leak air slowly. If the air pressure gets low enough, the tire may shift on the rim and deflate rapidly.

Remedy

Existing weights will be replaced with new weights that will not interfere with the sealing properties of the tire.
