Problem: On certain motorcycles, when equipped with a windshield, the throttle cables can kink at the guide bracket located at the steering head when the handlebar is turned all the way to the left. in this position, a kinked cable can cause either a stickly throttle feeling or prevent the throttle from returning to the closed position.
Risk: If the rider turns the handlebar to the full left lock during a slow-speed maneuver, this sticky/binding throttle feeling could result in reduced vehicle control, which could cause a crash resulting in injury or death.
Fix: Dealers will replace the guide bracket with a new one that has an additional guide to prevent the throttle cables from kinking. the recall began on april 19, 2007. owners may contact yamaha at 1-800-962-7926.
