THROTTLE CABLE GUIDE BRACKET MODIFICATION

NHTSA #07V147000 · Vehicle Speed Control — Cables · NHTSA notice

Reported April 2, 2007 · YAMAHA MOTOR CORPORATION, USA

Potentially affected: 8,500 vehicles

Yamaha campaign M2007-004R · Owners notified April 19, 2007 · Vehicles built August 1, 2005 – April 30, 2006 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

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.

Safety consequence

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.

Manufacturer remedy

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.
