2000 Yamaha YZFR6 & 2000 Yamaha YZFR6L + 2 more recall: unknown or other
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: motorcycles. The screws holding the sidestand switch CAN loosen and fall out due to engine heat and vibration. If this happens, the sidestand switch would not function correctly, so it would be possible to ride the motorcycle with the sidestand in the down position.
💥 The risk
This condition would increase the risk that the sidestand could hit the ground during a turn, which could cause loss of control of the motorcycle.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the screws holding the sidestand switch.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
