Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“When riding in bright daylight it was hard to see my driving speed. I would have to remove one hand from handlebars to shade the speedometer to be able to see, giving me less control. It caused me to be unable to tell how fast I was going and if I was in compliance with posted speed limits. Updated 09/17/15”

NHTSA complaint #10733341, filed 2015-07, 95 miles

“Digital speedometer can be very difficult to read, especially when using bright high visibility helmets. Speedometer can be impossible to see in bright light from glare and reflection. Hazard is dangerous to rider as you would need to cover it with your hand to see, meaning steering with only 1 hand. I have bought the shade accessory Yamaha makes for this model and it does not solve the problem. This is especially hazardous for a new rider such as myself but this defect puts all riders lives at risk as they cannot clearly see their speed of travel. …”
