Example complaints

Transmission and drivetrain: “2006 v-star 1100. Shaft problem it busted in half as I was pulling out of my driveway. Motorcycle company I took it to said they have never seen anything like this. Had no warranty and the dealer would not cover. Updated ivoq 08/27/10”

NHTSA complaint #10341060, filed 2010-07, 10,000 miles

Electrical system: “My speedometer stopped working on my 2006 vstar 1100 cruiser motorcycle. When it was worked on, it was found that the retaining nut had come loose from the drive shaft along with some washers. This occured at approx. 9600 miles. The consequence was that it was fixed without a major replacement but it was a costly mechanics bill over $400.00.”

NHTSA complaint #10281267, filed 2009-08, 9,600 miles

Engine cooling: “Purchased motorcycle 5/2011 three months later it started to make a loud noise when decelerating. Its makes this noise when motorcycle is moving but engine is not under load. I took the bike to two different dealers and both of them said it was the middle gear set. The repair cost was $2300. This is crazy. Three months riding for $2300. I just bought it. After some research I found out I'm not the only one.it seems this is a problem with these bikes but nobody is doing anything about it. I can't afford to fix this. Please help!!!”

NHTSA complaint #10434151, filed 2011-11, 19,000 miles

Engine: “Starter when trying to start would not turn over motor, but the starter would turn over. I have found that Yamaha knows of this issue it has happened to anyone that owns a Yamaha vstar, 650cc and 1100cc, the repair bill cost between $900.00 to $1,200 , and even after repairs bye even dealers you can have this same issue again. I know one man that had it happen 3 times,now he is selling the bike after it's fixed again, help us please.”
