The short version

Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA reported a problem with the exterior lighting headlights. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The affected motorcycles may have a headlight harness that is too short and when the handlebars are turned fully to the left or right the harness may break near the coupler or coupler may disconnect from the headlight bulb.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the harness breaks or the coupler detaches from the headlight, the headlight will go out, reducing the rider's visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

Yamaha will notify owners, and dealers will install a sub-harness to lengthen the headlight harness, free of charge.
