Overnight, I exchanged emails with the powerplant engineer that I have been dealing with at Yamaha Japan.
He has confirmed that there's a pending recall that will cover 2012 - 2015 Super Tenere's (2016 is excluded, and for now, only USA models) and is to be issued Feb 1. The recall is for the hard start issue that some of us have experienced.
Now the interesting part; the recall is one which Yamaha considers MANDATORY. And they're linking it to emissions, which according to Yamaha, in 47 states (Hawaii, Michigan, and Nevada according to some research I've done) means that we will have to comply with the recall before our next vehicle registration.
I am so thankful that the hard start issue will be fixed! Thank you Yamaha for fixing this known issue that plagues our bikes!
