I ordered the recall kit today and should have it in next week. I'll take pictures of what's in the kit and report back here asap.
My 2012 serial number ending 000275 did not show signs either. I choose to take it in anyway. My dealer told me after the recall was performed that they didn't know how I got by this long as the wiring harness was in very poor condition and throwing codes.Thanks for the concern. I spent 4 years as a mechanic in a motorcycle shop in high school and college, 3 engineering degrees with a phd in EE, and a few patents in the areas of autonomous vehicles, so swapping cables/connectors/harness shouldn't be a problem. (I've done my own ee design/cable/harness design and manufacturing (to ensure that it's right), so no problem). My plan is to leave my bike alone until it shows symptoms, and if it does start with the high idle/no idle problem, i'll fix it then.
Thanks again.
I used another dealer, and the website took my order, but i was told that they can't send me the parts. I tried your "cheapyamahaparts.com" link; i hope that this goes through. if not, then i might try the shop at which i worked in high school to see if they can send me the harness kit.I ordered the recall kit today and should have it in next week.

The dealer I use called me today and said they had to have the vin number in order to get the kit. He said he would call tomorrow if they run into any problems.I used another dealer, and the website took my order, but i was told that they can't send me the parts.

Thanks for the link - i hope that it works.
Did you use "cheapyamahaparts.com" or another dealer?The dealer I use called me today and said they had to have the vin number in order to get the kit. He said he would call tomorrow if they run into any problems.
Thanks for the heads up. What codes was it throwing, did they say? Can we see those codes if we go into diagnostic mode on the bike? That would be good to know.My 2012 serial number ending 000275 did not show signs either. I choose to take it in anyway.

Just a heads up before you take off on a trip.
Did you use "cheapyamahaparts.com" or another dealer?
Thanks. I'll see if cheapyamahaparts.com comes through, or i have to call my old shop. I'll update once i know.I run my own shop and I have a local dealer I work with.
All that " credential wall paper " and ingenuity and he rides a Super Tenere !! says something about the machine .Thanks for the concern.

Yeah talked to Robert service manager at Bobby J's in Albuquerque and confirmed i need to bring it in if the VIN # fit the recall.My thought would be that the harness you got, probably doesn't have the fix. Just that you have one that is not screwed up, and subject to the recall. But I would confirm with Yamaha. Who knows how long they knew about it, and were silently fixing the issue on the inventory they had, until you and others with the problem forced them.

Do we have a PDF of the recall instruction for all to see?Page 3 and 4 of the recall instructions shows how to access/see any fault codes. Tech is then instructed to clear or repair any codes before proceeding with the recall work.
What extra is he talking about? Kinda curious on what more your bike has over everyone's else, now that everything was fixed. The tech did my recall in about three hours, and talking to him afterwards, he said he cleaned up some of the wiring from the headlight recall. He said nothing was wrong, but it wasn't a clean job, and there was points that water could get into the harness that he took care of.Yeah talked to Robert service manager at Bobby J's in Albuquerque and confirmed i need to bring it in if the VIN # fit the recall.
That it involves more than the new harness that was installed by Yamaha.
He says it will take a week!! But i do notice it has been getting a little twitchy on the idle from time to time.
My wife hates driving down to Albuquerque it like over 100 miles one way.
But if i need it done i will do it.
Don't know i didn't ask but since Bobby J's was U.S.A. Yamaha's pick for sending out a tech to do my harness he knew what was done to my bike.What extra is he talking about?

My bike every so often like to "twitch" while idling. Stays in the correct range, but sometimes feels like it is "surging". It is only about 50-100 RPM, and so far in 54K miles, it hasn't caused a problem.
So all this recall mystery and that's all the replacement parts?I got the recall kit in. Not much to it, so I assume most of the time involved in the install is just getting to everything. It didn't come with any instruction so as soon as the parts guy gets them to me I'll scan and post them. It did come with two zip ties and a roll of what appears to be some good quality tape.
Do the connectors have any identifying numbers? It seems like corrosion resistant connectors for the throttle sensors are the only real change. It could be easier to clip wires and just replace those connectors.I got the recall kit in. Not much to it, so I assume most of the time involved in the install is just getting to everything.

I agree. It looks like this whole process is to replace the TB connections, UNLESS they think there is a problem inside the main wire harness and this fix is a lot easier and cheaper than replacing the entire harness. All the wires are color coded.Do the connectors have any identifying numbers? It seems like corrosion resistant connectors for the throttle sensors are the only real change.
