Motion Pro is recalling 10,000 aftermarket brake levers, Model No. 14-0415, sold for use on certain MY 1999-2008 Suzuki motorcycles. These brake levers were manufactured in Taiwan. The lobe height on some of these levers are smaller and do not properly engage the stomp lamp switch which will not deactivate when the driver releases the brake lever. If this occurs, the stop lamp will remain on which could possibly result in a crash. Motion Pro will notify owners and provide a free remedy. The recall is expected to begin during September 2008. Owners may contact Motion Pro at 1-650-594-9600. 08E-052

Buell is recalling 1,307 MY 2007-2008 Blast motorcycles. The fuel tank may experience some local deformation under high-heat conditions that creates contact of the tank with the cylinder head. In some of these cases, the cylinder head rubbing on the fuel tank has created a fuel leak. This could result in a crash or fire, which could cause injury or death to the rider. Dealers will install a bracket which will prevent the fuel tank from contacting the cylinder head. The recall is expected to begin during September 2008. Owners may contact Buell at 1-414-343-8400. 08V-439
