angrygirafe Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Dropped mine off for service this morning and it is subject to the recall, even though my VIN doesn't exist in any of the online databases, including Yamaha. They didn't have the parts on hand, so I'll bring it back to them next week. So, still call your dealer, even if your VIN doesn't return anything.

redfjniner Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 When I installed a GPR4, I changed the threaded studs with 1/4" longer studs. There was no thread lock on the studs that I took out. I used blue thread lock on the ones I put back in. I have since changed to FZ-09 handlebar mounts with a FOX dampening riser. The handlebars are almost exactly the same height as with the stock mounts. This is an easy fix. DIY. Ken, Candy Ass L.D.R.

crazyivan Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 So, I got the recall done today. Once the recall in the US was official I contacted the dealer I purchased my bike from, and asked them if my bike was included in the recall, they said it was and they ordered the parts. They came in this week, and I just got back from the dealer after they installed the 'fix'. They showed me the parts, they replaced the lower handle bar riser with its integrated bolt that goes into the triple tree, and also included was self locking nuts. I didn't inspect them too closely, if I was thinking I would have taken pictures.. Anyway, if I recall correctly this is what the nuts looked like: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member DavidS Posted April 22, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted April 22, 2017 got a notice in the mail today from Yamaha saying my 2015 bike is impacted. I'll wait a bit and take it in when it's convenient, honestly, I hate letting the dealers even touch my bike! Anyone know what the procedure is? what will they actually do?

xlxr Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I received my recall notice from Yamaha today. Dealer has to order and receive parts before they can schedule appointment to fix it. We'll see how long the wait for parts is going to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Trambo Posted April 24, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted April 24, 2017 Got my letter today in the US Mail. Woop. Now to start calling local dealers to arrange to get it done. I swear it takes longer to get the appt set up, drop the bike off, and get a ride home than the actual work itself takes. > 2015 Stealth Grey FJ-09 Pilot Base of Operations: Chesterfield, VA Farkels?

Supporting Member texscottyd Posted April 24, 2017 Supporting Member Share Posted April 24, 2017 Yep... mine showed up today as well. I rotated the bar risers this weekend to move the handlebars forward, and the nuts were still tightly secured... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdwillie Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Got my letter in the mail as well. Of course just as I got my Rox risers set up nicely they go and do this to me. 2016 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angrygirafe Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Got the recall done today. Bars were put back on at a different angle, resulting in my handgaurds hitting the windscreen (VStream Sport Touring) at full lock. Apparently they decided that wasn't worth checking. Gonna have a fun phone call in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
