The reason for this recall: In affected motorcycles, an improperly designed Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) could cause an intermittently unstable idle when the engine is at idling speed, when the motorcycle is stopped, or during low speed operation. The engine could stall as a result. If the engine stalls after the operator disengages the clutch in a low gear while riding, the rear tire might slip momentarily if the operator abruptly re-engages the clutch. This could result in a vehicle crash with injury or death. What Yamaha and your dealer will do: To correct this defect, Yamaha initiated a Factory Modification Campaign. Unmodified affected motorcycles must have the TPS replaced with a new one. What you should do now: Do not operate affected motorcycles until they are modified. If you are not the first owner of the motorcycle, and are unsure if this important modification has been done, contact any authorized Yamaha Motorcycle Dealer to check. Any authorized Yamaha Motorcycle Dealer can perform this service. For the name and location of a dealer near you, call 1-800-88-YAMAHA or visit the Dealer Locator section of this website.
