    Is there a way to find out if my particular bike is affected? A VIN number range, for instance?

    For your bike, try entering your VIN here: https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls

    or go here:https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaI...000&refurl=rss, to download a PDF with links to more general info about the recall.

    Notices to owners of affected bikes will be sent August 7.

    If it is a 310 and not just purchased since the "stop sale" - it is included.
