For the 2005 Yamaha YZFR6. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.

Service brakes, hydraulic

Aftermarket equipment: applies only if this part was installed

Summary: Certain crg front brake levers, model RB-511 designed for use on 2004-2006 yamaha yzf-R1 motorcycles, and 2005-2006 yamaha yzf-R6 motorcycles. Model RB-512 is designed for use on 2003-2006 ducati 749 and 999 motorcycles, and on 2004-2006 aprilia mille r motorcycles. Due to a misalignment of the pivot bore, the brake lever could become seized in the brake engaged position, thereby preventing the front brake from disengaging.
Consequence: A non-release condition could cause drag on the front brake system, which could possibly result in a vehicle crash.
Remedy: Crg will notify owners and replace the rocker for the front lever free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during may 2006. Owners may concact crg at 831-763-7811.
