Motorcycle Safety Recalls and Protective Gear

Honda’s CBR600RR recall of 1,253 sportbikes involves a cylinder-finishing defect that may cause excessive oil consumption and potentially rear-wheel lockup or oil on the tire; VIN scope and permanent repair timing need confirmation. Honda’s separate fuel-pump recall covers 4,206 VT1300CX and VT750 motorcycles, while Triumph Trident 800 and Harley-Davidson Sportster S repairs remain active. Recent helmet coverage lacks sufficient independent testing.
