The Hazard!

The strength of the XP530A main stand may be compromised due to substandard welding at the cross tube. Repeated operations of the main stand may cause cracking at the weld areas and possible breakage. If the stand was to break and the bike was to fall over, it could cause serious injury to the rider or bystanders.

What to do...

To correct this defect, Yamaha is initiating a Factory Modification Campaign, whereby affected XP530A models must have the main stand replaced with one that has been strengthened by increasing the tube thickness and modifying the welding process.
