- Component:
- Vehicle speed control
- Manufactured:
- 10/31/2002 - 03/30/2005
- Affected:
- 39,757
- Defect:
- 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.
- Consequence:
- 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.

- 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.
