The hazard
On certain motorcycles, the rear cylinder cam chain tension guide may experience premature failure. This can cause plastic debris which can block the oil pump screen, leading to possible oil starvation and engine seizure. An engine seizure may cause the rear wheel to lock-up which could lead to a crash causing personal injuries or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the rear cam chain tensioner with an updated tensioner.
