Not sure if anyone here is effected but this was just released by Yamaha to their dealers:
2005 FZ6, YZF-R1, AND F JR1300 FACTORY MODIFICATION CAMPAIGN - Unstable Engine Idling
2009 YAMAHA MOTOR CORPORATION, U.S.A. Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A. has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2005 FZ6 (FZS600T), in certain 2005 YZF-R1 (YZF-R1T/TC) motorcycles, and also in certain 2005 FJR1300 (FJR13TC) motorcycles. In affected motorcycles, an improperly designed Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) could cause an intermittently unstable idle when the engine is at idling speed, such as when the motorcycle is stopped or during low-speed operation. The engine could stall. If this occurs while the motorcycle is being ridden, there could be a crash resulting in injury or death. To correct this defect, Yamaha is initiating a Factory Modification Campaign. Unmodified affected motorcycles must have TPS replaced with a one of a new design. Yamaha is notifying all registered owners of unmodified affected motorcycles by mail. A copy of this letter is included in this bulletin. The customer should take the letter along with the affected motorcycle to an authorized Yamaha dealer for the modification. A computer report listing all affected motorcycles invoiced to your dealership is included with this bulletin. Use the list to help ensure all motorcycles are modified. All sold motorcycles that have been registered with Yamaha will show the customer?s name and address. Your dealership must notify the owner of any affected motorcycle that was actually sold but is listed as ?unsold? in the report. You must modify all affected motorcycles in your inventory as well as all customer-owned motorcycles brought to you for this service. If you purchase a motorcycle from another dealer, check to see if the procedures in this bulletin have already been performed before you sell the motorcycle. Motorcycles that are affected should not be operated until they are modified. It is a violation of Yamaha policy for your dealership to deliver any affected motorcycles to customers until the procedures in this bulletin are performed. When the modification on each motorcycle is performed, follow the Warranty Information section of this bulletin to receive reimbursement. Be sure to use the Factory Modification Campaign procedures in Chapter 7 of the Warranty and Y.E.S. Handbook (LIT-11760-00-08). PRIMARY TPS SAFETY RECALL This modification has top priority. This bulletin must be performed immediately to ensure customer safety. NOTE: Bulletins that announce a recall will have an ?R? at the end of the bulletin number. All Units: Replace the TPS on all units in the affected range, whether or not unstable idle has been experienced. A letter is being mailed to all registered customers. A copy of the letter is included in this bulletin. Please contact any customers whose units were registered for warranty after 10/6/09. Before beginning the modification, verify that the modification has not been performed already by checking YDS and the motorcycle (refer to Identification Procedure section, page 3). Parts Required: Yes, order one TPS per unit. Warranty: Factory Modification Campaign. See the Warranty Information section of this bulletin. This modification applies to all affected units not previously modified regardless of ownership or warranty status.
