Yamaha recalls FJR1300 over gear failure

Yamaha Motor Australia has issued a recall for its 2016-2020 FJR1300 tourer over an issue with the transmission.

The official recall notice, issued through the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, says second gear may fail “due to excessive stress loading during shifting”.

“If there is a failure to change gears and loss of power while riding, this could increase the risk of an accident and injury or death to rider(s) and other road users,” the notice says.

The VINs (Vehicle identification numbers) of the 522 affected vehicles are included at the end of this article.

Owners of affected motorcycles should contact a Yamaha Dealer to arrange an appointment to have the main and drive axle assembly replaced, free of charge.
