CERTAIN 2016~2021 MODEL FJR1300A, FJR1300AE, AND FJR1300PA MOTORCYCLES
FACTORY MODIFICATION CAMPAIGN – Rev-Limit Condition Under Specific Shifting Operation
INTRODUCTION
Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A. has decided that a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2016~2021 model FJR1300A, FJR1300AE, and FJR1300PA motorcycles.
In affected motorcycles, when the rider is shifting into second gear under certain conditions, such as if the throttle is applied before the clutch is fully engaged, causing unusually high rpm, the Engine Control Unit (ECU) will react by limiting the maximum engine speed available. This is due to rev-limiter programming intended to protect second gear components from abnormal stress. However, this rev-limiter programming may be overly restrictive, possibly preventing the acceleration performance the rider anticipates, increasing the risk of a crash.
To correct this defect, Yamaha is initiating a Factory Modification Campaign. Affected units must have the ECU reflashed with the updated programing that Yamaha has tested to provide a slightly improved calibration while still providing second gear protection.
Yamaha is notifying all registered owners of affected motorcycles by mail. A copy of our letter is included in this bulletin. The customer should take the letter along with the affected motorcycle to an authorized Yamaha dealer for modification.
If your dealership was invoiced for one or more affected units, a computer report listing all affected motorcycles invoiced to your dealership is included with a mailed copy of this bulletin. Use the list to help ensure all motorcycles are modified. All sold motorcycles that have been registered with Yamaha will show the customer’s name and address.
Your dealership must notify the owner of any affected motorcycle that was actually sold but listed as “unsold” in the report. You must modify all affected motorcycles in your inventory as well as all customer-owned motorcycles brought to you for this service. Any affected motorcycle that you purchase from Yamaha in the future may also require modification. If you purchase a motorcycle from another dealer or Yamaha, check to see if the procedures in this bulletin have already been performed before you sell the motorcycle.
Motorcycles that are affected should not be operated until they are modified. It is a violation of Yamaha policy for your dealership to deliver any affected motorcycle to customers until the procedures in this bulletin are performed.
When the modification on each motorcycle is performed, follow the Warranty Information section of this bulletin to receive reimbursement. Be sure to use the Factory Modification Campaign procedures in Chapter 7 of the Warranty and Y.E.S. Handbook P/N: (LIT-11760-00-21).

Refer to the software version number list shown in the table on page 3. After completing the procedure, make sure to properly record and submit the warranty claim for this campaign to ensure correct reimbursement and to update the vehicle’s repair history in Yamaha’s database. Refer to the chart on page 3 if you encounter an unfamiliar unit and want to confirm that the ECU programming is the current version. The owner of each registered vehicle will receive a letter announcing this campaign. The customer’s letter includes the Vehicle Identification Number and Recall Number. The modification is authorized for all affected motorcycles, both sold and unsold, regardless of ownership or warranty status. You do not need the customer’s letter to perform the inspection/modification or to file for reimbursement. Submit a Recall Claim as described below using Campaign Number 990152. The labor allowance is 0.3 hours. To submit your Recall Claim on YDS, go to Service > Warranty Claims / Authorization > Claims / Authorization > New.

Our records indicate that you own the affected vehicle shown above. The reason for this recall: In affected motorcycles, when the rider is shifting into second gear under certain conditions, such as if the throttle is applied before the clutch is fully engaged, causing unusually high rpm, the Engine Control Unit (ECU) will react by limiting the maximum engine speed available. This is due to rev-limiter programming intended to protect second gear components from abnormal stress. However, this rev-limiter programming may be overly restrictive, possibly preventing the acceleration performance the rider anticipates, increasing the risk of a crash. What Yamaha and your dealer will do: Your authorized Yamaha dealer will have the ECU reflashed with updated programming Yamaha has tested to provide a slightly improved calibration while still providing second gear protection. There will be no charge to you for this procedure. What you should do now: Please call your Yamaha dealer to make a service appointment to have this procedure performed. At that same time, you can find out how long they expect to keep your vehicle for this service. Remember to take this letter with you when you take in your vehicle. You should not operate your affected motorcycle, shown above, other than to take it to a dealer, until this inspection and, if necessary, modification is performed. If you are unable to return to the Yamaha dealer who sold you the vehicle, this service will be performed by any authorized Yamaha Motorcycle dealer. For the name of a dealer near you, call 1-800-88-YAMAHA or visit the Yamaha web site at www.yamaha-motor.com.
