Yamaha Motor Company has announced that it will be recalling 902 units of its YZF-R3 model. The bike – which is the first twin-cylinder motor from Yamaha after the legendary RD350 – has been recalled due to a problem identified as pertaining to its clutch pressure plate and oil pump assembly.
The bike maker has clarified that the problem is not with all the models though, and only a limited number of motorcycles with certain production numbers have only been affected. Yamaha is also quick to say that this is a voluntary recall and it is not done after an incident has been reported. In fact, this exercise has been undertaken to prevent harm to the safety of any of its customers. All the 902 affected units will be called back under the banner of Yamaha’s factory modification campaign.
Customers that are impacted will be contacted by Yamaha authorised dealers and – as is the norm – the defective parts will be replaced free with no cost to the customers. Just for those of you who don’t know. The R3 is powered by a 320cc inline twin engine producing 41.5bhp and 29.6Nm.
