Yamaha affected motorcycles may have been built with an improperly manufactured rear shock absorber.
The short version
Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA reported a problem with the rear shock absorber. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected motorcycles may have been built with an improperly manufactured rear shock absorber. The nut on the damper rod for these shock absorbers may loosen, resulting in a loss of damping and the possible disassembling of the shock.
If the damper rod nut loosens, shock absorber performance would be affected, possibly causing a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.
Yamaha will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the motorcycles and replace any affected rear shock absorbers, free of charge.
