NHTSA Recall No. 07V486000 Kawasaki KLR650 Model years: 2002-08 Number of units involved: 33,365 Problem: On certain motorcycles, insufficient tightening of the muffler mounting bolts could allow the bolts to loosen. If the bolts loosen completely, it is possible for the muffler to separate from the motorcycle and create the potential of a crash.

Remedy: Dealers will tighten the two muffler mounting bolts to the proper torque. Owners not receiving this free remedy may contact Kawasaki at 949/770-0400.

NHTSA Recall No. 07V466000 BMW K1200R Sport.

Model years: 2005-07 Number of units affected: 510 Problem: On certain motorcycles, during long periods of sustained riding at high engine rpm, vibration within the front-brake fluid reservoir can cause the fluid to foam. This could allow air to enter the front-brake system, which could lead to a loss of braking capability, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Dealers will bleed the front brakes and install a damper weight in the brake fluid reservoir. This weight will dampen possible vibrations that can cause foaming of the brake fluid.Owners not receiving this free remedy may contact BMW at 800/831 -1117.

NHTSA Recall No. 07V474000 Ducati Hypermotard Model year: 2008 Number of units involved: 385 Problem: On certain motorcycles, the battery can move side-to-side inside the fuel-tank mounting compartment. This movement could result in damage to the main wiring harness at the battery terminal, causing an electrical short and consequently stopping the engine, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Dealers will install a battery mounting bracket and two double-lock velcro strips on the bottom of the battery. Owners not receiving this free remedy may contact Ducati at 408/253-0499.
