sixcharlie Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Edit 15 April: Photos of procedure are on page 19. If you are buying, if the last 4 of your VIN are higher than 1500, you probably are not affected. Bikes that have had the recall done will have a blue painted dot on the end of the shift shaft, left side of bike, where the linkage connects to if from the shift pedal. If you are affected and are told the recall kits are on back order they are. Why? So large dealer groups don't order them all to corner the market. Yamaha USA (and others I'm sure) will release the kits to dealers with bike affected. It takes a phone call. Ask your dealer to call yamaha on your behalf if they don't believe you. Post modification customers bikes click into gear, clearly, with no mush or vague feeling. Edit 4: April 9, 2015 Your US dealer may tell you that parts are back ordered until June. This is true, however Yamaha has allocated kits for customer bikes. If you have any issues, have your dealer file a warranty claim for shifting issues. Edit 2: April 7, 2015 US recall has been initiated. Service bulletin M2015-002R. Kit part number 90891-10251-00. Edit: March 27, 2015 This affects US market bikes. Some members in Canada are reporting their bikes are affected. The recall has not be started yet, so if you call your US dealer and have them run your VIN, it will not show anything. If your US dealer doesn't know anything about this, ask them to log in to the Yamaha US Dealer website and check the messages from 25 March. End edit.

Premium Member wessie Posted March 26, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted March 26, 2015 Is there a source for this other than stating "Yamaha". Nothing on official sources, plus my MT09 Tracer has an ID that starts with a different sequence. This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is.

FigJam-OhNine Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 If this is legitimate, I'm actually impressed. The FJ has only been out a couple of months, so this is a quick action from Yamaha to address the issue. This is coming from a guy who used to be the one to make recall decisions at an electronics company. I've got no problem with pro-active recalls as long as the company acts fast and takes care of their customers. That said, what's the worst case scenario here? Bike won't shift?

delnari Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 If this is true, problem was identified on the assembly line by an assembly worker; my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FigJam-OhNine Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 If this is true, problem was identified on the assembly line by an assembly worker; my guess.If it's a safety issue, there's typically no grey area with recalls. If the probability that a single product will fail and cause a safety issue over the course of it's life, it means a recall. At least in my world. Can't speak for the motorcycle industry, but I'm guessing it's similar. So this may mean that the probability of YOUR bike failing is low, but the probability of A bike failing is high.

sixcharlie Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 Was in the store this morning getting oil and a filter for the 600 miles service. I saw the release from Yamaha. Service bulletin should be out in the next week. Glad I saw that so I don't waste good oil after a week or so of use. Call your service department if you want confirmation. Yamaha Customer Relations: 800-962-7926. This is for US models. Other parts of the world will probably follow suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FigJam-OhNine Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 This is for US models. Other parts of the world will probably follow suite. Unless they've confirmed it's a batch issue. Might only affect US bikes. Who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind though that this engine has been being built for the FZ-09 for almost two years. The FJ-09 is basically an FZ-09 with Farkles. Yes, but I assume they would order/manufacture parts based on the quantity of bikes they want to produce in any given year. The current batch they used to make 2015 bikes may have a manufacturing variance to the ones produced last year, meaning just because it affects 2015 bikes, doesn't mean it affects 2014 bikes even though it's the same engine. As an example, whoever makes these parts for them may have forgotten to remove the sharp edges on the latest order. I should put out the caveat that without knowing more, this is all pure speculation on my part based on my experience in manufacturing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruizin Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Just called my dealer and yes, my FZ-09 is on the recall list. they also had an FZ-09 recall for cables to be replaced and a TSB for the cam chain tensioned. So, my bike will be getting all three done. I will try to time this while I am out of town anyways and not miss any riding time. Service dept did stress that his is an important recall and to get it done asap.
