Reported risk: On certain motorcycles, the spherical rod end, which is part of the linkage connecting the rear brake pedal to the rear brake master cylinder, is susceptible to corrosion, which can cause binding and rough brake operation. The spherical rod end is enclosed in a rubber boot that encapsulates and conceals the corrosion; however, degrading brake performance should be noticeable to the rider. In the worst case, the spherical rod end could break which would result in a loss of rear brake function. Correction: Dealers will replace the spherical rod end and associated parts.
