Cables (vehicle speed control)
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.
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.

Checking a specific 2006 Yamaha XV19
How do I know if my 2006 Yamaha XV19 has an open recall?

The check runs against NHTSA's live database and tells you which campaigns list your vehicle. 1 campaign currently lists the 2006 Yamaha XV19; your car may already have been repaired under it.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Under federal law, manufacturers must fix safety recalls at no charge for vehicles up to 15 years old from the date of sale to the first owner. Contact any authorised Yamaha dealer with your VIN and the NHTSA campaign number (for example 07V147000).
What is the difference between a recall and a complaint?
A recall is a safety campaign filed by the manufacturer or ordered by NHTSA, with a defined defect and remedy. A complaint is a report an owner sent to NHTSA; it is not verified, but patterns of complaints are what trigger NHTSA investigations and, eventually, recalls.
