An official CAA Japan notice concerns Motorcycle (Honda Benly and other models) - Repair. Electrical wiring defect (main harness, AC generator harness). ■ Defective component (part name): Electrical wiring (main harness, AC generator harness). ■ Details and cause of the defective structure, equipment or performance: Due to inappropriate securing positions for the main harness and AC generator harness, extension and compression of the rear suspension may bend the harnesses at the engine-side clip bands.

In the worst case, the engine may stop while riding and cannot be restarted. If the wiring in the AC generator harness breaks, the engine may also become impossible to start using the starter switch and, in the worst case, may stop while riding and cannot be restarted.
