Defect
On certain motorcycles, electrical system performance could be affected by a weak connection at the crank case, corrosion at the ignition switch due to exposure to corrosive liquids, and/or improper routing causing wiring to wear against the fuel tank. These issues could potentially result in engine stalling and a loss of motive power, inability to shut off the engine with the ignition key, or short circuits potentially resulting in a fire. An increased risk of injury and/or damage to property could result.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will relocate the crankcase ground wire, inspect the ignition switch wiring and wiring harness in proximity to the fuel tank for corrosion and/or abrasion damage, and repair as necessary. Dealers will also add shielding and abrasion resistant material to protect the wiring.
