Issue

On certain motorcycles, the gearbox sealing ring could be displaced due to changes in internal gearbox pressure, causing an oil leak into the rear suspension swingarm. If the swingarm sealing bellow is not fully tightened, leaking oil could be dispersed onto the rear tire, which could decrease tire traction and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install a sealing ring retaining bracket.
