The transmission could lock.
Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA issued a recall on the FJR1300 sport-tourer for a gearbox issue that could ultimately lock the transmission and rear wheel.
According to the documents published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Yamaha expects 50 percent of the 2,285 vehicles included in this recall to present the issue. The Yamaha FJR13’s model-year 2016 through 2020 are targeted.
In the safety recall report, Yamaha explains that the Yamaha head office found that on some of the bikes, the second gear wheel isn’t strong enough to handle the tension caused by a gear change at high rotation.
The component might not be able to endure the stress of constant gear changes. It could eventually crack and, in the worst-case scenario, even break. Yamaha lists difficulty in changing gear and finding neutral and false neutrals as precursor signs of a gearbox issue leading up to breakage.
