This bulletin has been produced due to a potential problem associated with the rubbing of the oil cooler delivery and return hoses, which could lead to damage and oil leakage from the hoses. A new component, spacer (A) (Part no. 8291K191A), has been made to be placed between the hoses and inside the hose grommet (1), to prevent the contact described above.

The spacer (A) (Part no. 8291K191A) must be installed only on motorcycles equipped with hose grommet (1).

 

Customer Impact

All motorcycles in your inventory (to be registered or already registered) and to be delivered to final Customers must be updated during pre-delivery operations and always before delivery to the final Customer. All motorcycles already delivered to final Customers must undergo this inspection as soon as they come to your workshop.

 

Parts Distribution

The components with part no. 8291K191A required to carry out the upgrade under this Safety Recall Campaign must be ordered for each affected frame number.
