The 2002 Yamaha Road Star Warrior has two recalls, the more serious being a pick-up coil wire that can break while the engine is running, causing a sudden stall with no possibility of restarting, which can lead to loss of control and a crash.
The second recall involves a throttle position sensor that can cause an unstable idle at a stop or during low-speed riding. If the engine stalls when the rider lets out the clutch in a low gear and then abruptly re-engages it, the rear tire can momentarily slip.
