Issue: On certain motorcycles, the front wheel size may appear incorrectly. There is a shadow character that appears in the space following the first 'J' of the wheel rim size. You may see 'JJ17M/CXMT3.50', when it should show 'J 17M/CXMT3.50'. Canadian regulations require wheels to be clearly marked with the rim size. Safety Risk: This small error does not affect safety. Corrective Actions: This is not a recall. Yamaha has made changes to ensure that all new wheels are correctly marked.
