Ha! No doubt that it’s better to be told of the possibility than to find out for yourself the hard way. ?The good news is you got the recall notice instead of catching fire.
You are luckier than Johnny Blaze.![]()
Oh, I’m not worried about it. The retrofit was actually installed a month or so ago when I had the rear shock replaced. I think it’s sort of funny, honestly. The thought of riding down the road and suddenly becoming a human fireball is sort of funny, in the cartoon physics sense.Recalls happen all the time and with every brand of bike. Most of them are the result of a company erring far on the side of safety and, although they indicate a problem that must be taken care of, are hardly any reason to panic. I bet if you looked up how many Ducati's actually burst into flame you'd find the number is relatively minuscule and that you're far more likely to die as a result of falling down the stairs or something.
Luckily I’ve had enough recalls on the bike that the less-immediate ones get fixed along with the more important ones. Maybe “luckily” is the wrong word, but I fully expect bugs to be worked out on my dime because I bought an all-new bike, which I’d normally not do for just that reason. I couldn’t resist, though!Yep, got one on my Indian right now that I'm ignoring. Don't panic. The problem that causes a recall may not exist on every bike.
But ignorant is not knowing and a recall is in fact knowing.I didn't suggest ignoring it, Hog. I said "don't panic." Ignoring a recall is, well, ignorant. :grin:

It's just a Roadmaster. Wiring for trunk can get corrosion due to a connector that is not water tight.What's the new Indian recall? ( asking for my wife, obviously)
