Honda Recall

Honda is recalling some CBR600RRs built in 2003 and 2004 to fix a potential problem with the rear brake.

Bearings on the rear brake actuating rod on some bikes can seize if exposed to road salt, possibly leading to the rod snapping and causing the brake to fail.

Honda is writing to owners of affected bikes. If you want to double check, the recall applies to 2003 models with chassis numbers from 3M000001 to 3M000648 and 2004 bikes from 4M100001 to 4M100593.

ZX-10R Safety Recall

Kawasaki has issued an immediate and urgent recall of its 2004 ZX-10R Sportsbike.

At this stage the only information we have been given is that riders should NOT attempt to ride their ZX-10Rs until contacting the dealer from which they purchased it first.

The Safety Recall stems from engineering problems with the front wheels of the motorcycles. You can contact Kawasaki on their UK website www.kawasaki.co.uk

Issued 17th August 2004
