The problem
On certain motorcycles equipped with a gates drive belt system, the front sprocket may wear between the sprocket and its retaining nut, causing the front sprocket nut to loosen and fail to retain the sprocket.
The risk
The front sprocket nut failure could cause axial movement and interference which could result in transmission lockup, increasing the risk of loss of control or crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the front sprocket assembly free of charge. The recall began on november 22, 2006. Owners may contact polaris at 763-417-8650.
