Who Makes the Most Reliable Motorcycle?

Jim,
That's only for certain 2015 Tenere'... right!?!?

The "shift shaft assembly" needs replacement due to a design defect per the Yamaha recall letter.
The recall applies to the 2015 FJ09, FZ09, FZ6, R6 & Super Tenere.  -JEP-

Well, the original post from Yamaha said "certain" models but judging from the Tenere forum, it seems to be most all of the 2015 bikes listed in the recall notice.
I just spoke with my local dealership and they strongly advised not to ride the bike until the part is replaced.
The service manager sighted a couple of incidents that he knew of first hand and neither were good news. Fortunately, they are trying to get the part in for my bike and get me taken care of this week.........I can only hope! -JEP-

I heard that parts were back ordered here in the U.S. I hope not.
I also heard that Yamaha has not "official" recall on it yet... Is that true?

No it's official. I received the recall notice yesterday in the mail from Yamaha

Jim do they list a phone number to call to see if my bike is on the recall?

They listed this number but it appears that's for locating a dealership: 800-962-7926
Attached is a copy of the recall (I have blocked out personal data).
Hope this helps. -JEP-

The only bike that has ever left me stranded on the roadside 800 miles from home was my Yamaha FJR when the immobilizer failed. There were no replacement parts available in the US and I waited 3 days before the dealer got authorization from Yamaha to replace my ignition switch with one from a FJR on the showroom floor. A few weeks later Yamaha issues a recall on the ignition switch because of faulty immobilizer antennas and I was able to get reimburse for the cost of parts/labor but not the 3 days food and lodging. My H-D's, BMW's, Triumph's, Moto Guzzi's, Vespa's, have always got me home.

Perhaps that is why USA FJR's and Super Teneres do not have immobilizers today, only those made for other markets.

Brick, it is a limited number of 2015 bikes, no 2014's.

Fred, Thanks that is what I thought but just wanted to be sure!

(In case someone else is curious as well.)

I don't own a Yammi or a Super ten..but this site may be helpful for VIN recall lookup.
Supposedly it includes motorcycles.
Maybe someone with a recalled VIN can test it?

Here are the VINS for each model affected:
