2002 Yamaha XV1700 recalls
Recall 07V-039: Engine and Engine Cooling
Problem: On certain road star warrior motorcycles, the lead wires for the pick-up coil can break while the engine is running, causing the engine to stall and be impossible to restart.
Risk: If this occurs while the motorcycle is being ridden, a vehicle crash could occur.
Fix: Dealers will replace the pick-up coil. The recall began on march 2, 2007. Owners may contact yamaha at 1-800-227-5963.
Recall 06V-371: Vehicle Speed Control
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.
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.
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.
