Description
: |
There are two scenarios from essentially one defect, in
that, the washer for the side stand spring bolt does not have sufficient
hardness and may deform. This deformation could cause the side bolt to
flex and fracture during side stand operation. In this scenario the side
stand would not remain in the retracted position which would be obvious to
the operator. In the second scenario, remembering the side stand is fitted
with an ignition cut-off system, if the side stand pivot bolt corrodes,
the corrosion may allow the side stand to retract but later, with
vibration, drop. If this happens the engine could cut-out without
warning. |
