The 1974 Honda XL125 has 2 recalls, both concerning the same wiring harness defect that can cut electrical power to the engine, lights, horn, and gauges.
When the handlebars are turned fully to the right, the wiring harness can be pulled tight against the frame's head tube, damaging or severing wires. A disconnected harness can shut down the engine without warning and leave the rider without working lights or a horn, which raises obvious risks in traffic or low-visibility conditions.
