DEFECT #1 - VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Posted on: 2006-09-28
Description
On certain motorcycles, an improperly designed throttle position sensor could cause an intermittently unstable idle when the engine is at idling speed when the motorcycle is stopped or during low-speed operations. The engine could stall as a result.
Consequence
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 crash with injury or death.
Corrective Action
Dealers will replace the throttle position sensor free of charge. The recall began on october 16, 2006. Owners may contact yamaha at 1-888-88-yamaha.
