The hazard

Issue: On certain motorcycles, the pivot bolt on the gear shift lever can loosen during a strong up-shift gear change. If this happens, the bolt could break and the shift lever could fall off, making it impossible to change gears. Safety Risk: An inability to change gears could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Honda will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorcycle to a dealer to replace the shift lever pivot bolt. Dealers will also apply a thread locking compound to the bolt.
