Yamaha says that this bolt must be tightened to a specified torque after applying recommended loctite (sealant) at the earliest. No accident or safety-related issues have been reported to Yamaha so far. Yamaha has initiated the campaign to repair the affected motorcycles through bolt re-tightening after application of loctite. There is no repairing cost involved for this repair activity and it can be completed within few minutes.
However, as a precautionary measure, Yamaha advises not operating the motorcycle before the repair is carried out. One can go to the manufacturer’s official website and enter the chassis number to check whether the bike is one of the affected. The chassis number is stamped into the steering head pipe. The engine serial number is stamped into the crankcase.
