## What is wrong

On certain motorcycles, a defective weld on the upper stud bolt at its connection to the front spring strut may allow the bolt to break during extreme riding manoeuvres.  If this happens, the rider may not be able to control the motorcycle.  Correction:  Dealers will replace the front spring strut.
