Recall number 07V039000 · Recall details

Vehicle speed controlReported September 28, 2006 · 39,757 vehicles affected
What is wrong
On certain motorcycles, an improperly designed throttle position sensor could cause an intermittently unstable idle when the engine is at idling speed when the motorcycle is stopped or during low-speed operations. The engine could stall as a result.
Risk
If the engine stalls after the operator disengages the clutch in a low gear while riding, the rear tire might slip momentarily if the operator abruptly re-engages the clutch. This could result in a crash with injury or death.
Remedy
