It looks like there is a recall in Japan for the Niken GT, XSR900, XSR900 GP, Tracer900 GT, Tracer9 GT+, MT-09, MT-09 SP, MT-10, MT-10 SP and MT-09 S motorcycles.
As shown on the Yamaha website (JP) 
, the defective part seems to be the ECU (Engine Control Unit).
リコール届出番号 5612 (令和7年2月5日)
Recall Notification Number: 5612 (February 5, 2025 )
Original Japanese
XSR900, XSR900 GP, TRACER900 GT, TRACER9 GT+, MT-09, MT-09 SP, MT-10, MT-10 SP, MT-09 S, NIKEN GTに関するリコールについて
エンジンコントロールユニットのプログラムが不適切なため、スロットルポジションセンサーの接点部が微小な動きを繰り返すことで早期に摩耗し、摩耗粉が堆積することがある。そのため、接点部に堆積した摩耗粉により正しいスロットル開度を認識できず、エンジン回転数の変動が起こることでエンジン警告灯が点灯し、最悪の場合、エンストするおそれがある。
改善措置の内容
全車両、エンジンコントロールユニットのプログラムを対策プログラムに書き換えるとともに、スロットルポジションセンサーを新品に交換する。
English Translation (Google) February 5, 2025
Here is the Google translation from the Japanese page:
Due to improper programming of the engine control unit, the contacts of the throttle position sensor may wear out prematurely due to repeated micromovements, resulting in the accumulation of wear particles.
Therefore, the correct throttle opening cannot be recognised due to wear particles deposited on the contact part, and the engine warning light lights are lit due to fluctuations in engine speed, and in the worst case, there is a risk of stalling. – Google Translation from Japanese.
Remedy (Translation)
The program of the engine control unit of all vehicles will be rewritten with a countermeasure program, and the throttle position sensor will be replaced with a new one. – Google Translation from Japanese.

I came across this information via this post on X which I thought might be a new Niken, however, I misunderstood the very brief post and screenshot.
