Yamaha YZF-R1 motorcycles being recalled in India for lead coupler defects
India Yamaha Motor is recalling its flagship motorcycle, the YZF-R1. The company says that they have found a defect which is related to the lead coupler in the headlight overheating and melting. This eventually leads to arcing and also causing a potential short circuit. The issue though is related to motorcycles falling in certain production batch numbers. YZF-R1 bikes manufactured between October 2008 and August 2013 have been affected. Globally, along with the R1, the XT1200Z Super Tenere is also being recalled for the same issue.
