Yamaha Mt: Handlebar Mounting/s May Detach
Yamaha is recalling approximately 15,250 MT and XSR900 motorcycles because the lower handlebar holder may not have been properly painted or secured with thread locking agent during manufacturing. This can cause the stud bolt to loosen and detach due to engine vibration, which could result in loss of control. The remedy involves replacing the lower handlebar holders with corrected parts.
