Summary

Buell Motorcycles is recalling 30 of its 2021-2022 1190 RX and SX motorcycles because a component called the index spring may have been installed incorrectly. This assembly error can prevent the rider from shifting into the correct gear or cause the gear to slip unexpectedly. Dealers will fix the issue by reinstalling the index spring in the correct position at no cost to the owner.

Risk

An improperly installed index spring can cause the transmission to slip out of gear or fail to engage the intended gear without warning. This loss of predictable gear control while riding significantly increases the risk of a crash.
