Defect:
Certain crg front brake levers, model rb-511 designed for use on 2004-2006 yamaha yzf-r1 motorcycles, and 2005-2006 yamaha yzf-r6 motorcycles. model rb-512 is designed for use on 2003-2006 ducati 749 and 999 motorcycles, and on 2004-2006 aprilia mille r motorcycles. due to a misalignment of the pivot bore, the brake lever could become seized in the brake engaged position, thereby preventing the front brake from disengaging.
