Problem: Vehicle description: motorcycles equipped with high-mounted handlebars. The high-mounted handlebars are position on top of the upper fork clamp and are clamped to the top of each upper fork tube. It is possible for a handlebar to rotate forward.

Risk: If this were to occur while riding, the rider's balance could be upset and a crash and personal injury could result.

Fix: Dealers will degrease the clamping connection parts, rework the positioning tab (if necessary) to fit properly in the corresponding gap in the upper fork clamp, and reset the torque of the clamping connections.
