Things to consider when insuring one

  • Motorcycles need their own policy

    A car policy doesn’t cover a motorcycle. Look at medical coverage and gear coverage, and seasonal (lay-up) options if you store it for winter.

  • NHTSA 25V248000 · Apr 17, 2025

    vehicle speed control: throttle: throttle position sensor (tps)

    Pure Sports Distributing Inc. (Yamaha of Hawaii) is recalling certain 2022 MT-09 Tracer GT, 2021-2025 MT-09 SP, 2021-2025 MT-09, 2022-2023 and 2025 MT-10 SP, 2022-2024 MT-10 and 2022-2024 XSR900 motorcycles. The brushes inside the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) may slide excessively due to improper ECU programming, possibly causing unstable idling or an engine stall.

    Dealers will reprogram the engine control unit (ECU) software and replace the TPS, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 6, 2025. Owners may contact Yamaha of Hawaii customer service at 1-808-498-8248.
