Quick Jump to Recalls (3 Defects)
Defect #1: Vehicle Speed Control Malfunction (MFR Campaign: M2006-016R)
NHTSA ID: 06V371000 | MFR Campaign Number: M2006-016R
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

NHTSA ID: 06E035000 | MFR Campaign Number:
Posted on: 2006-05-02
Description
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.

A non-release condition could cause drag on the front brake system, which could possibly result in a vehicle crash.
Corrective Action
Crg will notify owners and replace the rocker for the front lever free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during may 2006. Owners may concact crg at 831-763-7811
