NHTSA recall 06V371000
Vehicle Speed Control · Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA
Details
What's wrong: 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.
Why it matters: 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.
