The problem
ON CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES, DURING MANUFACTURE, THE CLAMP PRESSURE ON THE FRONT FORK LEGS WAS INCORRECTLY SET.
Risk
INADEQUATE CLAMP PRESSURE ON THE FORK LEGS COULD CAUSE THE FORKS TO SLIDE UP THROUGH THE TRIPLE CLAMPS DURING HIGH IMPACT, E.G., HARD BRAKING, HITTING LARGE BUMPS, POTHOLES, ETC. SUCH A CONDITION COULD AFFECT THE HANDLING CONDITIONS OF THE MOTORCYCLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
What owners should do
DEALERS WILL RE-TIGHTEN THE FORK LEG CLAMPS TO THE PROPER SPECIFICATIONS FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 31, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT POLARIS/VICTORY AT 1-763- 417-8650 OR WWW.VICTORY-USA.COM.
