- Summary
- On certain motorcycles, the main stand is attached to the frame with two brackets, nuts and bolts. The nuts are spot-welded to the brackets. If clearance exists between the nut and bracket, the spot welds may be broken when the bolt is torqued.
- Consequence
- Over time, a bolt can loosen and fall out. The main stand could partially or completely detach from the frame, interfering with or damaging the rear wheel, and increasing the risk of a vehicle crash without warning. A completely detached stand falling on the roadway also creates a hazard for other vehicles.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install new brackets, longer bolts and locknuts. Owner notification began on June 29, 2004. Owners should contact american Honda at 1-800-999-1009.
