Yamaha is recalling more than 12,000 motorcycles in Germany due to problems with the injection system. The recall affects MT-09, MT-10, Tracer 9 GT and GT+, Niken GT and XSR900 models, including SP versions, manufactured between May 2021 and December 2024.
The problem is related to a fault in the programming of the throttle position sensor (TPS) in the Electronic Control Unit (ECU). This error can cause the engine to shut down unexpectedly when idling and, over time, lead to the sensor wearing out. Debris build-up on the contact points can result in faults that cause the engine to shut down irregularly. In some cases, the bike’s dashboard may display the error code P2135.
To correct the problem, Yamaha will implement the following actions on the affected models:
- ECU software update.
- Replacement of the TPS sensor on pre-owned bikes.
- Resetting the TPS to the specified value.
The repair will be free for all owners and will take around two hours to complete. The recall is being carried out in partnership with the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA), which will identify and officially notify owners.
The models most affected by the problem are the MT-09 and Tracer 9 GT/GT+, while the Niken GT is the least affected.
