Just a heads up to you 1125R Guys!!!! Subject: Safety Recall Campaign 0834 Dear Buell Dealers: Buell Distribution Company, LLC has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists on certain 2008 Buell 1125R model motorcycles built June 19, 2007 through May 30, 2008. These model motorcycles built between the dates above can experience 5th gear galling on the clutch shaft due to lack of lubrication. This condition can allow the gear to seize to the shaft, resulting in rear wheel lock-up. This could result in an accident, which could cause injury or death to the rider. We have voluntarily declared this a defect related to motor vehicle safety (Campaign 0834) to allow us to formally recall all affected motorcycles. The remedy of this issue is to add an oil jet to the clutch shaft to increase the lubrication to the 5th gear journal. In the interest of the safety of our mutual customers and as required by law, you may sell but NOT DELIVER any affected motorcycles to your customers until the remedy is completed. Please refer to h-dnet.com on the Service Page/Safety and Product Campaign/Open Safety Campaign Instructions and the Safety Campaign and Open VIN Lists in the Service Toolbox for an updated list of affected VINs for this recall. Select the appropriate campaign number link (0834) to view any outstanding vehicles involved. A service bulletin outlining the repair and credit procedure will follow within two weeks.This bulletin will also contain the specific procedures to add an oil jet to the clutch shaft to increase the lubrication to the 5th gear journal. In accordance with Federal regulations administrated by NHTSA, Buell Distribution Company, LLC will provide notice to all owners of record of affected products with direction to bring the vehicle in for the recall service. Sincerely, Buell Distribution Company, LLC 0834 | ||
