Vehicle report
Technical service bulletins are instructions a manufacturer sent its dealers about a known fault. They are not recalls and the work is usually not free, but they are the clearest signal of a problem the manufacturer already knows about.
MCMSN01182024901
Dealer Message - The oil pump on XR650L units may not be primed from the factory. The lack of priming will cause the pump to malfunction and lead to no oil pressure and subsequent lack of lubrication/cooling. This, in turn, could lead to engine seizure.
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
