An international safety recall has been issued for the 2023/2024 Yamaha MT-07 and Yamaha Tenere 700 for a clutch issue. The recall also affects the Yamaha XSR700 and Yamaha Tracer 7 models which are not sold officially in the Malaysia market.
The recall is to address a clutch drag issue where the clutch does not disengage completely . As stated in the official Yamaha recall notice, there is a risk the vehicle may start moving from a standstill with the gear engaged despite the clutch lever being pulled, which could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
The issue arose from the properties of an anti-corrosive agent that a new Yamaha clutch disc manufacturer applied to the clutch metal discs since December 2022. If the anti-corrosive agent mixes with material from the clutch friction plates, a viscous substance forms under heat during riding.
This causes the clutch and friction plates to stick together, causing failure of the clutch to disengage properly. paultan.org has contacted Malaysian distributor Hong Leong Yamaha Motor (HLYM) and will update this article if information is received.
