An official CAA Japan notice concerns Motorcycle (Honda CB650F) - Repair. Defective electrical wiring. ■Defective components: ① Electrical wiring (front sub-harness) ② Electrical wiring (front sub-harness, turn signal switch harness). ■Condition of the structure, equipment, or performance deemed noncompliant with standards, and its cause: ① The wire type selected for the front sub-harness is unsuitable, and repeated steering operations may break the wires in the harness.

When the handlebars are turned left, the harnesses may become trapped between the headlight stay and the frame and bend. If use continues in this condition, repeated bending may break the wires, causing the headlight, turn signals, speedometer, and horn to malfunction or, in the worst case, the engine to stall and become unable to restart.
