An official CAA Japan notice concerns Motorcycles (Honda VFR1200X MUGEN and others) - Repair. Due to the propeller shaft. ■ Defective component (part name): Propeller shaft. ■ Condition of the structure, equipment or performance considered noncompliant with standards, and its cause: At the propeller shaft's yoke joint, the staking pressure used to prevent the bearings from coming out and the shape of the housing that holds the bearings are inappropriate. Consequently, heat from friction while riding or high loads may cause internal bearing wear. If use continues in this condition, the yoke joint may break. In the worst case, the vehicle may become unable to move, or the propeller shaft may interfere with the swingarm and cause the rear wheel to lock. Published 2016-03-02.
