The hazard
On certain motorcycles equipped with a windshield, the throttle cables can kink at the guide bracket located at the steering head when the handlebar is turned all the way to the left. In this position, a kinked cable can cause a heavy throttle feeling. If the rider turns the handlebar to the full left lock during a slow-speed maneuver, this heavy throttle feeling could result in reduced vehicle control, which could cause a crash resulting in injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the guide bracket with an updated version.
