- Summary
- Vehicle description: motorcycles. The screws holding the sidestand switch can loosen and fall out due to engine heat and vibration. If this happens, the sidestand switch would not function correctly, so it would be possible to ride the motorcycle with the sidestand in the down position.
- Consequence
- This condition would increase the risk that the sidestand could hit the ground during a turn, which could cause loss of control of the motorcycle.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the screws holding the sidestand switch.

Has your Yamaha been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Yamaha dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
