FACTORY MODIFICATION CAMPAIGN – Brake Switch Malfunction
Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A. has decided that a defect that relates
to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2019~2020 MTT9GT (Tracer
GT), 2019 MXTGTKL (NIKEN GT), 2017~2020 MT10, 2018~2020 XTZ12
(Super Ténéré), 2013~2020 FJR13, 2018 XV19B (Star Eluder), and
2018~2021 XV19 (Star Venture) model motorcycles.
In affected motorcycles, the front brake switch may fail due to increased
internal resistance caused by silicon oxide. If this happens, the brake
light may stay on constantly and/or the cruise control system, if it can be
activated at all, may cancel unexpectedly, either of which could increase
the risk of a crash with injury or death.
To correct this defect, Yamaha is initiating a Factory Modification
Campaign. Affected units must have the front brake switch replaced with
new one that was manufactured properly.
Yamaha is notifying all registered owners of affected motorcycles by mail. A copy of this letter is included in this
bulletin. The customer should take this letter along with the affected motorcycle to an authorized Yamaha dealer
for modification.
If your dealership was invoiced for one or more affected units, a computer report listing all affected motorcycles
invoiced to your dealership is included with a mailed copy of this bulletin. Use the list to help ensure all
motorcycles are modified. All sold motorcycles that have been registered with Yamaha will show the customer’s
name and address.
Your dealership must notify the owner of any affected motorcycle that was actually sold but listed as “unsold” in
the report. You must modify all affected motorcycles in your inventory as well as all customer-owned motorcycles
brought to you for this service. Any affected motorcycle that you purchase from Yamaha in the future may
also require modification. If you purchase a motorcycle from another dealer or Yamaha, check to see if the
procedures in this bulletin have already been performed before you sell the motorcycle.

Motorcycles that are affected should not be operated until they are modified. It is a violation of Yamaha
policy for your dealership to deliver any affected motorcycle to customers until the procedures in this
bulletin are performed.
NOTE: If you are modifying a 2016~2020 model FJR13, check to see if the unit is also affected by the Second
Gear Failure Factory Modification Campaign announced in Technical Bulletin M2021-002R. Perform both
procedures at the same time for customer convenience and shop efficiency.
When the modification on each motorcycle is performed, follow the Warranty Information section of this bulletin
to receive reimbursement. Be sure to use the Factory Modification Campaign procedures in Chapter 7 of the
Warranty and Y.E.S. Handbook (LIT-11760-00-16).
Unsold &
Sold Units: Use YDS Unit Status to check to be sure the unit is affected and that it is not already modified.
Also, there is a new part identification mark on the back side of switch that can be used to confirm
the correct switch; see Identification Procedure in this bulletin for more information.
Parts: Yes. Order a new stop switch kit for the model you are modifying. There are different kits for
different models. See the Parts Information section of this bulletin for more information.
Warranty: Factory Modification Campaign. See the Warranty Information section of this bulletin. This
modification applies to all affected units regardless of ownership or warranty status.

In affected motorcycles, the front brake switch may fail due to increased internal resistance caused by silicon oxide. If this happens,
the brake light may stay on constantly and/or the cruise control system, if it can be activated at all, may cancel unexpectedly, either of
which could increase the risk of a crash with injury or death.
Your authorized Yamaha dealer will replace your motorcycle’s front brake switch with new one that was manufactured properly. The
procedure takes under an hour to perform, depending on the model, but your dealer may need to keep your motorcycle longer. There
will be no charge to you for this procedure.
Please call your Yamaha dealer to make a service appointment to have this procedure performed. At that same time, you can find
out how long they expect to keep your motorcycle for this service. Remember to take this letter with you when you take in your
