Yamaha Australia has recalled 1849 motorbikes of various models due to a manufacturing issue.

Due to the issue, the throttle position sensor may be faulty. This may lead to unstable engine idling and possible stalling resulting in a loss of motive power.

The engine malfunction indicator warning will appear on the instrument cluster.

Affected models include:

120 MTT890D-K (MT09TRASP) models with a year range of 2023-2024

741 MTT890D (MT09TRAS) models with a year range of 2021-2024

326 MTN890/D/S (MT09A/ASP/ASP2/AAMT) models with a year range of 2020-2025

496 MT10A/AASP models with a year range of 2022-2025

A loss of motive power whilst riding increases the risk of an accident, causing serious injury or death to rider and/or passenger and other road users.

Owners of affected vehicles will be contacted by Yamaha requesting them to schedule an appointment to have the works carried out free of charge.
