2004 Yamaha FJR1300 recalls (1)
Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.
Vehicle speed control
Problem: 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.
Risk: 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.
Fix: 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.
