Recalls and investigations

  1. Vehicle speed control, throttle, throttle position sensor (tps)Apr 16, 2025

    Pure Sports Distributing Inc. (Yamaha of Hawaii) is recalling certain 2022 MT-09 Tracer GT, 2021-2025 MT-09 SP, 2021-2025 MT-09, 2022-2023 and 2025 MT-10 SP, 2022-2024 MT-10 and 2022-2024 XSR900 motorcycles. The brushes inside the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) may slide excessively due to improper ECU programming, possibly causing unstable idling or an engine stall.

    Unstable idling or an engine stall can lead to loss of control of the motorcycle, increasing the risk of an injury or crash.

    Dealers will reprogram the engine control unit (ECU) software and replace the TPS, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 6, 2025. Owners may contact Yamaha of Hawaii customer service at 1-808-498-8248.

Representative owner complaints: fuel/propulsion system

  1. Electrical system, Fuel/propulsion system, Apr 13, 2024

    The vehicle started sputtering and the engine shut off in traffic, I was able to pull to the side of the road. Had I been on the interstate and not a 2 lane road I would have run a high risk of becoming an obstacle to traffic and being hit. Upon later inspection inside of the ignition starter / kill switch assembly on the right hand handlebar there was a small piece of plastic that had broken off causing the ignition circuit to become disconnected killing the engine. No warning lights came on to provide any indication of an issue. I did not take the vehicle to a dealer and opted to repair the fault myself.
