The 2016 Yamaha YZFR3 has two recalls, the more serious being an upper radiator hose that can crack and leak coolant onto the rear tire, causing the tire to lose grip and the rider to lose control.
The second recall involves the transmission shift shaft's torsion spring, which can fracture and give the gear shifter an unexpectedly loose feel, making it difficult or impossible to change gears smoothly and raising the risk of losing control of the motorcycle.
