The short version

Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA reported a problem with the electrical system wiring. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

Over time, a gap may develop in the protective sealant where the lead wires of the accelerator position sensor (APS) and throttle position sensor (TPS) connect to the electronic control unit (ECU). This may cause corrosion on the wires, preventing the engine from returning to idle after the throttle is released.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the engine does not return to idle when the throttle is released, it can lead to a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

Yamaha will notify owners, and dealers will bypass the wire lead connection with a new sub lead harness multi-connector, free of charge.
