An official CAA Japan notice concerns Motorcycle (Honda Gyro X) - Repair. Due to a defect in the suspension (front pivot arm). ■ Defective part (component name): Suspension (front pivot arm). ■ Condition and cause of the structure, equipment, or performance deemed noncompliant with standards: In the front fork, improper chamfering of the bushing holder ends and improper surface treatment of the pivot arm bushings may cause increased sliding resistance between the front pivot arm and the side of the bushing if grease escapes from between the bushing holder and the bushing. Continued use in this condition may subject the right front pivot arm to excessive stress and cause it to break. In the worst case, operating the front brake may pull the front brake cable, locking the front wheel and causing the vehicle to overturn or become inoperable. Published 2015-04-14.
What to do now
(Recall)3554 ■ Corrective measures: On all vehicles, replace the front fork with a modified part and replace the front pivot arm with a new one. Because supplying the corrective parts will take time, as an interim measure, inspect the front pivot arm on all vehicles. Where improper operation is confirmed, replace the front pivot arm with a new one and apply grease to the pivot arm bushings. On all other vehicles, apply grease to the pivot arm bushings.
