I’ve often heard it repeated that troubles come in threes, and that certainly seems to be the case with this latest round of recalls from the Tuning Fork Company. Apparently, up to 22,433 FZ-09, FJ-09 and XSR900 bikes within the 2015-17 model years may have a potential problem that causes the handlebar clamp to loosen and allow the bars to pivot within the clamp. Needless to say, this is bad, m’kay? It turns out that a pair of mistakes including improper painting and poor application of Loctite is to blame.
