Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA "Yamaha" is recalling certain 2018 Yamaha MT-07J, MT-07JC, XSR700J, and XSR700JC motorcycles. The bolts that connect the drive chain guard to the swingarm may loosen, possibly causing the chain guard to contact the drive chain and break.
If the chain guard breaks, it may fall onto the road, creating a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash.
