Filed by Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA. Component: Unknown Or Other. Reported 2000-03-13. An estimated 17,146 vehicles are affected. Recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer.

Defect

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTORCYCLES. THE SCREWS HOLDING THE SIDESTAND SWITCH CAN LOOSEN AND FALL OUT DUE TO ENGINE HEAT AND VIBRATION. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE SIDESTAND SWITCH WOULD NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY, SO IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE WITH THE SIDESTAND IN THE DOWN POSITION.

Risk

THIS CONDITION WOULD INCREASE THE RISK THAT THE SIDESTAND COULD HIT THE GROUND DURING A TURN, WHICH COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE MOTORCYCLE.

What the manufacturer will do

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SCREWS HOLDING THE SIDESTAND SWITCH.
