Medium riskHealth Canada

An official Health Canada notice concerns Yamaha. On certain motorcycles, the clutch pressure plate bearing may break if operated frequently due to an insufficient load rating of the bearing. This could cause the clutch to fail, and the transmission to not shift properly. In addition, oil pressure may not be properly regulated due to an improper oil relief valve design in the oil pump, which can excessively stress the oil pump drive gear. This could result in the gear breaking, which could result in engine seizure from lack of oil supply. Either of these conditions could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the clutch pressure plate assembly and oil pump assembly with parts of a different design. Published 2016-06-30.
