cabbs5 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 2015 - 2017 FJ-09 2014 - 2017 FZ-09 2016 - 2017 XSR900 Issue: Lower handlebar holder may have been painted improperly during manufacturing. Additionally, the stud bold threads of the lower handlebar holder may not have had adequate thread-locking agent applied. As a result, if a strong external impact is applied to the handlebar, the paint on the bottom of the lower handlebar holder may be damaged. Over time, the paint can wear off, creating clearance that allows the stud bolt to loosen due to engine vibration. If the stud loosens of falls off, the handlebar holder may come loose from the handle crown, causing loss of control. There's not much more information and nothing on the exact VIN's affected. I couldn't find anything about it on the internet as of yet. Has anyone heard of this and have any addition information on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member britelitebob Posted March 28, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted March 28, 2017 I know that these recalls are probably written by lawyers who are trying their best to minimize the companies liability for a falty product, and leaving the consumer baffled at the same time is no doubt part of their plan, but i have to say that this one really takes the cake.

Premium Member wessie Posted April 9, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted April 9, 2017 there is nothing in the UK site http://www.dft.gov.uk/vosa/apps/recalls/default.asp?tx= but my EU model is a JYARN29F and not included in that list above so maybe it is only a batch of bikes destined for elsewhere. It's most likely a batch of x thousand subassemblies made in China that were not inspected properly. This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is.

steve Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 The recall has started in the UK, whilst speaking with my dealer today I asked if they knew of the recall, a few minutes later a claim had been lodged. Not seen any info regarding the recall on any website DVSA/Yamaha ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angrygirafe Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Looks like my bike isn't affected, as it doesn't actually exist. "An error occurred with your request.

skipperT Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 US Dealers were just notified this week. If you are concerned, call your local dealership and run your VIN. Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member joeszup Posted April 14, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted April 14, 2017 Yeah, my VIN is in this range: Begin : JYARN37E0FA000008 End : JYARN37EXHA003582 But putting the VIN number into their search engine yields zip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thruster8999 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Not sure I want to take mind in for this recall. Having put the GPR steering dampner on it uses different bolts which to me are beefer. Also I used blue loctie. As for the paint....ahhh I dont see a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine does the same everywhere I search for it. It doesn't seem to be within the range of VINs posted either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
