## What is wrong

ON CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES, THE AIR FILTER MOUNTING SCREWS MAY COME LOOSE AND FALL OUT.

## The remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE AIR FILTER ELEMENT WITH A NEW ONE THAT IS DESIGNED TO HOLD THE SCREWS SECURELY FREE OF CHARGE.  THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 29, 2006.  OWNERS MAY CONTACT YAMAHA AT 714\-761\-7842.
