The hazard
On certain motorcycles, the motor rotor may contact the stator at sustained maximum motor RPM. Should this occur during motorcycle operation, rear wheel lockup could result, increasing the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will conduct a stationary screening test of affected motors and replace if necessary. In the interim, owners are advised to keep motor RPM below 5 000 RPM - This equates to 136 km/h for the SR model, and 127 km/h on the S model.
