    1 Jul 2013 · RM/2013/016

    The mounting of the side-stand switch with a circlip is insufficient. As a result of this the side-stand switch may work loose and be damaged. If the side-stand switch does not function correctly the engine is no longer switched off when the side-stand is extended and a gear engaged. It would be possible for the driver to drive off with the side stand extended.

    Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to modify the side stand switch mounting. The switch will be bolted on.
