Details

What's wrong: The bolts that connect the drive chain guard to the swingarm may loosen, possibly causing the chain guard to contact the drive chain and break.

Why it matters: If the chain guard breaks, it may fall onto the road, creating a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Yamaha will notify owners, and dealers will replace both chain guard mounting bolts, free of charge. The recall began on August 3, 2018.
