Defect
On certain motorcycles, when equipped with a windshield, the throttle cables can kink at the guide bracket located at the steering head when the handlebar is turned all the way to the left. In this position, a kinked cable can cause either a stickly throttle feeling or prevent the throttle from returning to the closed position.
Safety risk
If the rider turns the handlebar to the full left lock during a slow-speed maneuver, this sticky/binding throttle feeling could result in reduced vehicle control, which could cause a crash resulting in injury or death.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the guide bracket with a new one that has an additional guide to prevent the throttle cables from kinking. The recall began on april 19, 2007. Owners may contact yamaha at 1-800-962-7926.
