## What is wrong

On certain motorcycles, the cylinder head sealing plugs, covering holes in the area of the spark plugs, may not be fully seated.  If either or both of the sealing plugs were to detach from their mounting point during vehicle operation, coolant could escape from the holes, travel along the engine cover and contact the rear tire.  This could result in loss of traction and possible loss of vehicle control.  Correction:  Sealing plugs will be replaced with stainless steel plugs.
