Factory Fluid StandardDirect Spec

Maxima Racing Fork Fluid 5W (1 Liter)

Formulated with anti-foam agents and shear-stable viscosity index improvers to prevent damping fade under aggressive riding heat.

Fork & Dust Seal KitExact Stanchion Fit

All Balls Racing 41mm Fork & Dust Seal Kit

Features directional triple-lip rubber seal profile and external garter springs engineered to withstand heavy stanchion flex without weeping.

Air-Gap Tuning PhysicsBottoming Control

140 mm (5.51 in) compressed, spring removed

Trapped air column acts as a progressive spring in final 30% of stroke. Adding +5mm oil increases bottoming resistance without stiffening small bump compliance.

NHTSA #25V248000VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:THROTTLE:THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS)

Received: 16/04/2025▼

Defect Description

Pure Sports Distributing Inc. (Yamaha of Hawaii) is recalling certain 2022 MT-09 Tracer GT, 2021-2025 MT-09 SP, 2021-2025 MT-09, 2022-2023 and 2025 MT-10 SP, 2022-2024 MT-10 and 2022-2024 XSR900 motorcycles. The brushes inside the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) may slide excessively due to improper ECU programming, possibly causing unstable idling or an engine stall.

Safety Hazard / Consequence

Unstable idling or an engine stall can lead to loss of control of the motorcycle, increasing the risk of an injury or crash.

Factory Remedy & Repair Action

Dealers will reprogram the engine control unit (ECU) software and replace the TPS, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 6, 2025. Owners may contact Yamaha of Hawaii customer service at 1-808-498-8248.

Manufacturer Notes: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1- 888-275-9171), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
