active

0 YAMAHA VMAX 1700

Category: Motorcycle · Supplier: Yamaha Motor Australia Pty Ltd

Recall date: 26 July 2010

Defect

The circuit resistance of the Accelorator Position Sensor (APS) and Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) in the wire harness may increase due to a defective ground connection between APS/TPS and ECU. Under this condition, incorrect electrical signals may be transmitted to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and resulting in unstable engine idle speed and/or display malfunction codes (50 and/or 60).

Hazard

In the worst case, the engine idle speed may become suspended around 3000 rpm while riding even if the throttle twist grip is released.
