Yamaha has issued a recall for all 2006 YZF-R6R’s due to a problem caused by the air filter fitments.
According to the Yamaha recall document, “the air filter retaining screws may work loose and in rare cases, fall out, potentially getting caught in the throttle valve and preventing it from closing properly.”
MCN spoke to Nick Girling, Yamaha’s Customer Services Manager, who told us the problem has been resolved on remaining R6’s in the Yamaha factory and every owner and dealer who has models should have the problem sorted at their earliest convenience.
If you are a 2006 YZF-R6R owner you can call Yamaha’s dedicated line for the recall on 01932-358065.
