Yamaha · YZF-R1 EC

The electrical resistance in the harness between the sensors and the electronic control unit of the engine is too high. As a result, false signals are sent to the control unit, which lead to high or unstable idling conditions. The engine speed cannot go back to idle even when in the closed throttle position. The driver might lose control of the vehicle as a consequence of this.
