What is the defect?
During frame manufacturing, there is a possibility that one or both welds for the Rear Shock Upper Mount Brackets may have been inadvertently missed.

What are the hazards?
If the inner weld is missing it is possible for the mounting bracket to flex under extended use and fatigue cracking may develop at the outside welds.

What should customers do?
To correct this defect, Yamaha is initiating a Factory Modification Campaign, whereby affected models must have the frame inspected at both the left & the right rear shock, where necessary, the frame will be welded.
