Good to see they still couldn't make their last few bikes correct

ITs not as bad as the 1125's. Just about everyone we've had the rear indicators have stopped working

As far as I know, nothing changed for 2010 there except for the paint color. Makes me wonder the cause of this recall, especially for something that wasn't ever heard of here first. Possibly a bad batch from the vendor.

David, I got two 1125's, neither of them have had a single issue yet. Actually, my CR burned out a tail light bulb a while back.

According to that website:

The potential number of units affected is 23.

Does that mean 23 Uly's are affected? Is that a joke? The only other thing I can think of is that 23 parts are affected in each Uly, but there's no way, that'd be half the bike.

That 23 refers the the number of bikes I think... Which makes me agree with Froggy and think it must have been a bad batch from a vendor.

At least they don't have "porosity in the aluminum casting" like the 259 Ninjas. "Porosity"...I thought that was a made-up word, like one we invented at work when everyone is on the same page: "agreeocity". Ex: "We have reached full agreeocity that the Buell shutdown sucks." "Agreeance" can also be substituted.

Porosity is actually a standard term in the foundries for a common casting problem, especially in aluminum.
I've dealt with it from our suppliers in pretty much every job I have had for the past 17 years.

It's basically trapped air in the part when the metal cools.

I kinda like "agreeocity". Can I use it?

Be mindful that there is a good chance that the vendor simply couldn't produce the paperwork for this lot.

Simple.

See if your vin is in the population. Get it fixed.
