An official CAA Japan notice concerns Motorcycles (Honda Gyro X) - Repair. Due to a defect in the suspension system (front pivot arm). ■ Defective component: Suspension system (front pivot arm). ■ Description and cause of the structure, equipment or performance deemed noncompliant with standards: Due to improper surface treatment of the pivot arm bushings in the front fork, the O-rings between the bushing holders and bushings may wear prematurely, allowing grease to escape and increasing sliding resistance between the front pivot arms and the sides of the bushings. Continued use in this condition may subject the right front pivot arm to excessive stress, causing it to break. In the worst case, operating the front brake may pull the front brake cable, locking the front wheel and causing a fall or rendering the vehicle inoperable. Published 2016-10-27.
What to do now
(Recall) 3917 ■ Remedial measures: On all vehicles, replace the pivot arm bushings with improved parts and replace the front pivot arms and O-rings with new ones. Because supplying the parts for these measures will take time, as an interim measure, inspect the front pivot arms on all vehicles. Where improper operation is found, replace the front pivot arms with new ones and apply grease to the pivot arm bushings. For the remaining vehicles, apply grease to the pivot arm bushings.
