Issue

On certain motorcycles, the driveshaft universal joint may not have been properly assembled and/or may not have adequate durability as the result of manufacturing errors. An incorrectly assembled or prematurely worn universal joint bearing may generate enough heat to decrease the strength of the bearing shell, which may cause the yokes to separate or the universal joint to break. If the joint breaks, it is possible it may interfere with the swing arm and lock the rear wheel while riding. Either outcome could result in loss of control and/or a crash, increasing the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the original driveshaft with an updated drive shaft.
