Certain motorcycles were built with a rear shock absorber that could break which could cause the underside of the vehicle to drag on the ground. This could adversely affect handling and result in a crash without prior warning. Correction: Dealers will install a shock reinforcement kit.
On certain motorcycles, the side stand switch could become inoperative. This condition could cause the engine to stall or quit when riding which could result in a crash without prior warning. Correction: Side stand switch will be replaced.
On certain motorcycles, the fuel tank mount system could, in the event of a collision, allow the fuel tank to become separated. Fuel tank separation could result in personal injury. Correction: Fuel tank mount system will be replaced.
On certain motorcycles, the fuel tank valve assembly could become plugged. Under certain conditions this could cause the carburetor to overflow fuel which could result in a fire. This condition could also prevent sufficient fuel flow, which may cause the engine to misfire or stall. Either of these conditions could result in personal injury. In addition, certain M2 Cyclone models may have a component that could restrict airflow into the float bowl of the carburetor. This could cause the carburetor to overflow fuel which could result in a fire. This could also prevent sufficient fuel flow which may cause engine misfire or stalling. Correction: Fuel tank vent valve assembly will be replaced. M2 Cyclone models will have the float bowl assembly inspected for proper venting and have the condition corrected if necessary.
