A TSB was released just last week for a factory mistake in the torque required for the rear wheel sprocket bolts. Check them and torque to 50nm as required. EDIT: 50nm is 37lb/ft or 443 inch/pounds.
I heard about the TSB this morning from the AF1 forum and had my mechanic check the bolts (as it was in for other work, splicing in the integrated signal light). All the bolts were loose, three of them would turn with fingers. Two of the bolts would not torque because the threads were eaten up by the sprocket and need to be replaced. The wheel is undamaged and thankfully so is the swingarm.
So if you have one of these bikes, don't delay. Make sure the sprocket bolts are torqued properly.
