Defect. Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A. (Yamaha) is recalling certain model year 2014 Yamaha YZF-R6 motorcycles manufactured August 1, 2014, to September 1, 2014. The front and rear wheels of the affected motorcycles may have been manufactured with insufficient hardness.

Risk. If the wheels have insufficient hardness, the wheels may loosen and/or air may leak from around the tire bead. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Yamaha has notified owners, and dealers will replace the front and rear wheel and tire assemblies, free of charge. The recall began on October 30, 2014. Owners may contact Yamaha customer service at 1-800-962-7926. Yamaha's number for this recall is 990088.

WHILE CHECKING OUT THE BIKE AROUND THE BLOCK AFTER RECEIPT FROM THE DEALER, I DECELERATED TO MAKE THE FIRST TURN. THE THROTTLE STUCK, AND WHILE LEANING OVER FOR THE TURN, THE REAR WHEEL POWERED THE MOTORCYCLE AROUND AND THREW ME TO THE PAVEMENT AND THE VEHICLE INTO THE DITCH. UPON CRASHING AND LYING ON IT'S SIDE, THE ENGINE AND REAR WHEEL WERE RACING AT AN ELEVATED SPEED. I TURNED THE KILL SWITCH ON AND STOPPED THE ENGINE. UPON RECENT RETURN TO THE GARAGE, I VERIFIED THAT THE THROTTLE WAS STICKY, AND DOES NOT SPRING BACK EASILY. *TR

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
