Recall 06V-371: 2003–2005 Yamaha FJR1300, 2004–2005 Yamaha FZS600 and 2 more
YAMAHA MOTOR CORPORATION, USA recall for vehicle speed control, reported to NHTSA on Sep 28, 2006, covering about 39,757 vehicles.
The problem
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.
The risk
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.
The fix
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.
