2006 Yamaha XV19 recall: speed control
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motorcycles, when equipped with a windshield, the throttle cables CAN kink at the guide bracket located at the steering head when the handlebar is turned all the way to the left. In this position, a kinked cable CAN cause either a stickly throttle feeling or prevent the throttle from returning to the closed position.
💥 The risk
If the rider turns the handlebar to the full left lock during a slow-speed maneuver, this sticky/binding throttle feeling could result in reduced vehicle control, which could cause a crash resulting in injury or death.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the guide bracket with a new one that has an additional guide to prevent the throttle cables from kinking. The recall began on april 19, 2007. Owners may contact yamaha at 1-800-962-7926.
