Transport Canada recalls

Engine#2014495November 3, 2014
41 units affected
Certain motorcycles may experience an unintended activation of one of the fuel injectors by the engine control unit (ECU). This could result in the engine either not starting, or if already running normally, may lose ignition to one cylinder (caused by excessive fuelling), which would lead to a loss of vehicle propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the rider's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the ECU.
