The Yamaha Motor Company has issued recalls affecting 2451 motorbikes due to an issue with the clutch.

724 2022 to 2024 XTZ690/D – Tenere/Tenere World Raid models, 18 2023-2024 MTT690 – MT07TRA models, 1453 2023-2024 MTN660/690 – MT07LA/HO models and 256 2022-2024 MTM660/690 (XSR700) models are affected by the recall.

Due to a manufacturing process, the clutch may not fully disengage when the clutch lever is pulled all the way to the handlebar. If this occurs, it could cause an unintended movement of the vehicle.

An unintended movement of the vehicle may increase the risk of an accident, causing serious injuries or death to the rider and/or passenger, or other road users.

Owners of affected vehicles can contact their authorised Yamaha dealership to schedule an appointment to have the clutch replaced, free of charge.
