Got mine Monday. I traded the bike in over a year and a half ago. I've even traded the bike I traded for.

My VIN is 002318.Just as I opened my recall notice,the phone rang.It was my shop,and he explained it to me.Thought that was pretty neato,especially with all the bad stories I hear about shops elsewhere.

I posted this on the other recall thread.
I just made a copy of my dealer's SIX PAGE "instruction" sheet (Bulletin MC 02-11) that came with the "Official KHI Recall Repair Kit". What a hoot! There are SIXTEEN pictures and FOUR diagrams.
They are instructed to "Replace the harness clamp if the harness clamp is soaked with engine oil" (PN 92171-1255). They are also instructed to make a small punch mark on the frame directly above the top rivet holding the ID plate, indicating that the recall service has been done.
The kit consists of a large bottle of "crazy glue" (supposedly enough to do 20 bikes), a roll of electrical tape (more than enough fro 20 bikes) and a small flat blade jeweler's screwdriver (to get the wires out of the plug). Oops! Sorry, it's called a "Terminal Removing Tool".
In a nutshell, here's what is supposed to be done...
1. Remove rear seat, front seat and side panel.
2. Disconnect the alternator lead connector.
3. Remove the vinyl (black) tape from the harness, approximatly 100mm from the connector.
4. Remove the plastic lead tube (so THAT's what they call that plastic wire cover!)
5. Remove vinyl tape that covers intermediate connection (where the two wires go into one before the plug)
6. Remove terminals from the plug.
7. Clean terminals with contact cleaner (SEVEN steps and must be repeated THREE times!)
8. Apply "quick curing adhesive" where the wire is crimped to the terminal to seal the wire (FIVE steps!).
9. Apply adhesive to the top and bottom of the intermediate connection (Three steps!)
10. Insert terminals into plug (the same position they were in).
11. Wind 4 to 5 turns of tape around the intermediate connnection.
12. Put plastic tube over wires.
13. Wind tape 2 to 3 times around the end of the tube (by the plug) and continue to wrap the tube until you overlap the original tape wrap (approx. 100 mm).
14. Clean the regulator connector and the area around the connector with contact cleaner.
15. Reinstall the removed parts in reverse order.
16. Make "Repair Verification" mark on frame.
17. Fill out "Warranty Claim" documentation (REQUIRED by Federal Law - NHTSA Law 49 U.S.C. Section 30210(i) or they will keep sending the customers notices).
Repair time: 0.5 hour.

MC 00-04 - Proper spacing of front wheel (service bulletin/manual addendum)
