Found this on another site thought it might be worth posting for the guys on R1's
if you ride one .. or know of a person that ride one let them know ...
Yamaha has recalled:
2005 FJR1300,
2005 FZS600,
2005 XV1700,
2005 YZF-R1,
2004 FJR1300,
2004 FZS600,
2004 XV1700,
2004 YZF-R1,
2003 FJR1300,
2003 XV1700, and
2002 XV1700 models
On certain motorcycles, an improperly designed throttle position sensor could cause an intermittently unstable idle when the engine is at idling speed when the motorcycle is stopped or during low-speed operations. The engine could stall as a result. If the engine stalls after the operator disengages the clutch in a low gear while riding, the rear tire might slip momentarily if the operator abruptly re-engages the clutch. 39,000 motorcycles are affected.
Note: We now have a separate report listing each model with direct links to the recall information so you won't have to hunt for it. Look for the "Latest Recalls" link.
