The defect
ON CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES, DURING MANUFACTURE, THE CLAMP PRESSURE ON THE FRONT FORK LEGS WAS INCORRECTLY SET.
The risk
INADEQUATE CLAMP PRESSURE ON THE FORK LEGS COULD CAUSE THE FORKS TO SLIDE UP THROUGH THE TRIPLE CLAMPS DURING HIGH IMPACT, E.G., HARD BRAKING, HITTING LARGE BUMPS, POTHOLES, ETC. SUCH A CONDITION COULD AFFECT THE HANDLING CONDITIONS OF THE MOTORCYCLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
