Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The oil pan drain plug is protected by a protruding fin. If this fin hits an object it will be pushed into the oil pan and cause it to rupture/ fracture and release the oil. This release of a large amount of oil may cover the back wheel causing an accident and possibly death. This has not happened to my fj 09, but is documented on the internet. I called Yamaha about this issue and they do not have a recall. But on the 2016 model, they moved the drain plug to the side of the oil pan, indicating they know there is a problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10945266, filed 2017-01, 1,500 miles“I just had to pay to have a safety problem known to Yamaha repaired. The clutch cable on Yamaha fj-09s up through 2017 is know to break because of improper design. Yamaha has come out with a redesigned cluth cable to fix this pro0blem. If a rider had his clutch cable break it would render the mtorocycle undriveable and potentially a major safety factor is the clutch cable was to break in traffic rendering the motorcycle unrideable. It would be a major safety7 problem for younger, less experiended rider who are unable to shift a motorcycle without a clutch.”
