The issue
On certain motorcycles, abnormal wear of certain transmission components could result in a broken retaining circlip. If the circlip breaks, the transmission could lock up, which would also cause the rear wheel to lock up. This could result in loss of control and a crash, possibly resulting in serious injury or death. Correction: Dealer will replace certain transmission components with new ones.
